Bringing hands-on learning to your classroom
Workshops made possible with funding from a Kids Country Grant from the East of England Agricultural Society.
Can’t come to the farm? Let us bring the farm to you!
Our Kids’ Country @ Sacrewell outreach workshops bring practical, curriculum-linked learning straight into your classroom.
From milling wheat and making butter to exploring seasonal produce, our workshops give children the chance to get hands-on, ask questions and discover more about food, farming and where the things we eat come from.
🌾 Fantastic Flour
KS1 & KS2 | 45–60 minutes
Take your class on the journey from field to flour and discover how wheat becomes one of the ingredients we use every day.
Children will explore where flour comes from, learn how wheat is grown and harvested and use a tabletop mill to grind grain into their own flour.
They’ll then use their flour as part of a practical food activity, bringing the whole journey from crop to kitchen to life.
Curriculum links: Science, Geography, Design & Technology, History, food and nutrition.
🧈 From Milk to Butter
KS1 & KS2| 45–60 minutes
How does milk become butter?
In this hands-on workshop, children will explore where dairy products come from and investigate the science behind turning cream into butter.
They’ll get stuck in and make their own butter, observing how the cream changes along the way before getting to taste the finished result.
Curriculum links: Science, Design & Technology, food and nutrition, farming and food provenance.
🌱 From Farm to Fork
KS2 | 60 minutes
Explore the journey our food takes from the farm to our plates.
Children will discover more about seasonal fruit and vegetables, where and how they are grown and why eating seasonally matters.
They’ll get hands-on preparing ingredients to make and taste a seasonal dish, before planting their own pea seed to take back to the classroom and continue growing.
Curriculum links: Science, Geography, Design & Technology, PSHE, sustainability and English.
🥔 The Great Potato Adventure
EYFS
Dig it. Discover it. Transform it. Eat it.
A hands-on farm-to-fork adventure designed especially for younger learners.
Children will experience a genuine mini potato harvest, digging up real potatoes and investigating the plant, soil, roots and what has been growing underground.
They’ll make observations and describe what they discover before washing, preparing and transforming their potatoes into something they can taste.
Along the way, children will practise sorting, comparing, counting and weighing, develop their physical skills and work together to make discoveries.
Curriculum links: Understanding the World, Communication & Language, Mathematics, Physical Development and Personal, Social & Emotional Development.
