Young students absolutely love farm animals – they’re a staple part of primary school learning, especially in younger children. It’s important to teach students about farm animals and how farms work, for a variety of reasons. For one, it’s really important kids know and understand where their food comes from. This can help them appreciate their meals more, understand the complicated process of how it ends up on their plate and also teach them that all food doesn’t grow on trees.
Teaching about farm animals is also a good way of introducing students to wildlife, and explaining that all animals require different types of care and have different needs.
EY1 Teachers decorated the foyer and created our very own Farm, Jungle and Barn to give our students a real feel of this life by displaying various animals, their homes and the food they provide us with.
