 Ready Steady Grow

In our Topic Ready Steady Grow, we have been learning all about farming, how food is produced and different uses for the crops produced. Bears looked at some of the different crops planted from barley, corn, wheat, hay and oats and how some of the crops were used for food for people and some went into different types of animal feed. We looked at our cereal packets like Weetabix, porridge and Cornflakes and saw that the wheat, corn and barley were sent for making into cereal that we eat for breakfast. Bears fed the farm animals with chicken corn, sheep nuts and rolled barley.

We then enjoyed singing together Big Red Combine Harvester!

We looked at how honey was produced and made our honeycomb.

Bears enjoyed making some farm machinery with junk modelling and lego.

From our book Handa's Surprise, we learnt that in other countries they grow different fruit and vegetables and that there are things that we buy in our shops that are flown from all around the world. Lots of fruit like bananas, mango and pineapples are grow in hotter countries.
