To introduce our Countryside topic Year 2 took part in a WOW starter. We talked about what we might find in the countryside and focussed on farm. We then tasted some delicious food that may be found on the farm. We tried cheese, blackberries, blueberries, yoghurt and bread. Why not ask about what your children know about food from a farm?
