Open Farm weekend: Farmers open their gates to share secrets

Mary-Ann McErlean teaches P1 pupils at Ballycraigy Primary School and she said the children have been “really excited” for their farm visit.

“Some of them have never been to the farm before and we’ve been learning about the farm in school.

“We’ve been tasting different dairy products that come from cows – milk, cheese, things like that, but there’s only so much that they can learn in the classroom. They need these first-hand experiences.

“So it’s been brilliant to get them down here and they’ve been able to see the sheep getting sheared.

Ms McErlean said the P1 pupils have been engaged in learning about farms.

“It’s really interesting for them actually, to see where food comes from.

“Sometimes, like with the meat, it might scare them a little bit, but it’s something that we have to talk about and they have to be aware of.

“They do find it really interesting”.
