1/2 Farm to Table Learning

Year 1&2 students have been exploring the concept of ‘Farm to Table’. This week we looked at dairy and where milk, cream, butter, and other dairy products come from. Students got to experience the exhausting work of turning cream into butter. Students took turns shaking jars of cream for 10 minutes to make their own butter! They certainly have a new appreciation for the work that goes into making butter!

 1/2 Collingwood Children’s Farm Excursion 

On Tuesday 10th of October all Year 1&2 students went on an exploration to the Collingwood children's farm to study how we can grow and harvest food from farm to table. Students were mesmerised by gorgeous peacocks, got to pet goats and sheep, and thoroughly enjoyed learning about how a farm works and where some of their favourite foods come from. 

"My favourite part was petting the goats and the cat" - Ryan Z

"I liked to see the goats; they were so funny" - Yasser A

"I liked the horses, because one of them was named Ollie like me" Ollie D

"I learnt that mud is like sunscreen for pigs" -Zachary S

Below is some writing from the students
