Dive into the multifaceted world of farming with our immersive curriculum that combines science, history, and creativity. Students will learn to grow vegetables, understand plant life cycles, and explore essentials for life in plants, animals, and humans. They'll also investigate healthy eating, food groups, and the impact of environmental factors on farming. Through storytelling, art, and drama, learners will create their own farming narratives, build models, and design farm machinery, all while connecting their local food systems to global contexts.
E N D
Science • Grow own vegetables (and hopefully sell on at summer fete) • Life cycle of plants • What do plants, animals and humans need to live and grow? • Healthy Eating/Food Groups • Seasons • Forces and motion-farm vehicles • Classifications • Food webs
Geography • Food miles-visit a supermarket, where does our food come from?—link to world maps • Trade/Fair trade. Coffee/Tea/Chocolate • Location of settlement/landscapes-build up on their own farm. • Drought/Flooding/Insects/War: Things can affect farming worldwide-look at other countries
Literacy • Instructional writing- growing instructions, seed packaging. Create own instructions-link to ICT-use iPad apps like strip designer. • Storytelling- Use farm based books (Mudpuddle Farm: Michael Morpurgo), tell their own stories, write their own stories. Puppets, farm models-build their own farm, use it a prop to tell a story. • Day in life of a farm hand, a farmer, a dairy farmer, farm animal (personification).
Music/Drama/Art/MFL/DT • Farm sound scape based on a farm image • Singing farming songs • Role play • Graphic scores/Animal noises • Create/Design farm signage or farmer’s market signage • Names of animals in a modern foreign language/farming songs • Design and build farm machinery-wheels/treads
History • Ways of farming in history- strip farming • Changes in job roles over time • Link to machinery designed in the industrial revolution
Mathematics • Money-selling at markets/buying your equipment/animal feed • Fractions-dividing up your land/fields
