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 “Country Connections” 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 new this year a live motor
cross demonstration to be viewed during lunch in the grandstands.
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!
