Brooklin
Spring Fair’s Education Day is an excellent opportunity for Grade 3
students to discover how agriculture impacts their daily lives.
This
year’s fair theme is “Farmyard Heroes” - celebrating the heroes in
our agricultural community from the animals to the farmers and everything
in between. As part of our Education Day program, your class is invited to
come discover the amazing agricultural community that exists within Durham
Region. Students will learn about cows, chickens, pigs, goats, and sheep,
while also having the opportunity to meet local farmers.
The students will learn about current farming practices and
participate in live milking and sheep sheering demonstrations. They will get to hear an interactive presentation on
environmental stewardship presented by “Earth Rangers” and have an
opportunity to view the entries in the Homecraft Competition.
Our
Education Day program is designed to reinforce the Grade 3 curriculum and
allow students the opportunity to apply their learning to real life
situations. Please refer to the following page to view Curriculum
Connections as well as the timetable for the day.
It is extremely important that you register your class early to avoid disappointment, as space is limited!
