Our Topic

Sow, Grow and Farm

In our topic this term, we will be using our Geography and Science skills to develop our understanding of the process of growing and producing food. Within this unit, we will be visiting the Coton allotments and also a local farm whilst also undertaking a study of farming across the world. Following this, we will be using our understanding of seasonal planting to design and develop our own recipes for fruit crumble.
