This resource contains a set of teacher notes and accompanying PowerPoint slides. Through a series of activities pupils will consider the purpose of farms and what they provide us with. Pupils will then focus on arable farming and the products we obtain from crops. Pupils will explore seasonality and identify the growing season for various fruit and vegetables. The final part of the session allows pupils to think about what it is like to be a farmer and the skills farmers need.
