Preparation for a Visit
| How to prepare your staff and students for a great day out | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Contact one of the FarmLink team and arrange for them to come and discuss the visit with you and your students |
| 2 | Plan your visit – your visit should be incorporated into your lesson planning and its place in your school curriculum |
| 3 | Health and Safety – it is important to remind your students of Health and Safety requirements prior to your visit |
| 4 | Supported teaching – on your arrival, hand over to the host farmer and support him or her with the learning, welfare and well being of your students throughout the visit |
| 5 | Continued learning – follow up your visit by completing the topics in school as part of curriculum time |
