Down on the Farm

Produced by Teachers TV, this video helps to illustrate how animals live, where food comes from and the workings of a farm as children are followed during a residential visit to a farm.

Children and teachers from Kelvin Grove Primary School in South London spend a gruelling week at Nethercott Farm in Devon. Experiencing everything from lambing to milking and feeding to mucking out, the children rise to the challenge of a new way of life.

The experience helps children to learn something about themselves, work as teams and where their food comes from. Farms for City Children is an initiative to take children from the cities and give them a taste of a real working farm.
