Organic Farm

In this programme from Teachers TV a mixed Year Five and Six class from Fordcombe Church of England Primary School visits an organic farm and study centre for a day to learn about food and farming. Commonwork, in the heart of the picturesque Weald of Kent, boasts over 500 acres of land and an organic herd of 280 dairy cows. The class visits in order to find out more about the origins of the food we eat, healthy eating and sustainability. Over the course of the day the children are taken on a tour of the dairy unit and the small organic vegetable garden. They also prepare and bake their own naan bread. They are encouraged to think more about their local environment, recycling and sustainability.
