About Farm to Fork
What’s in your food and where does it come from? Pupils will discover this and more in this interactive workshop designed to bring learning for sustainability to life.
What will my pupils do in the workshop?
This session takes place in our Learning Centre.
Working in groups, pupils will participate in a range of activities:
- Match the animals from our farm with the food they produce
- Investigate and identify the ingredients in popular dishes
- Complete a food miles challenge
Thoroughly recommend the session for Primary 1-3 - pitched perfectly with a good pace throughout the lesson.
