Thank You Farmers!

This week in Topic, we have been learning all about how important farmers are!

We learned just how hard they work to keep us—and people all around the world—well fed with fresh fruits and vegetables. We also explored how farmers supply factories with key ingredients used to make many of the foods we eat, such as bread and cereals.

Our main task this week was to make a fruit salad using fresh fruits grown by farmers. During the activity, we talked about which fruits we were chopping, whether they were grown in England or abroad, and what it would mean if we didn’t have farmers to grow them for us.

While peeling and chopping the fruit, we were shown safe techniques and tried really hard to focus and practise these skills.

Of course, our favourite part was tasting our creation—the salad was described as “12 out of 10!” We hope to make it again at home for our families.
