Loads n loads
Dear Farmer Andrew and Chef Brian!
Just a quick note to say “Thank You” for organising the sun to shine ALL day on the Thursday when classes 7 and 8 visited Claremont Farm. The children had a great time and learned a lot about how the vegetables are actually grown.
Thanks again for a great and informative day, “pitched” at exactly the right level for our pupils.
Kindest regards
Mrs Frances O’Brier,
Christ Church Primary School, Wirral.

Farm behind the Food
Teachers have created this resource to explore with children what food labels mean, and how they link to farming and making choices about food.
The web-based Farm Behind the Food www.farmbehindthefood.org.uk provides an information base for teachers and case studies to show how farmers work to each of the standards described as well as the classroom activities.
