Recently, we (Adventurers) joined Year 3 and Year 4 pupils from fourteen other Cornish schools to attend one of the Farm and Country Days held at the Royal Cornwall showground.

At the event, more than fifty exhibits (including live animals and some big, big 'toys') illustrated an aspect of the local farming and food production industry (‘food to fork’), supported by more than 200 volunteers, who kindly gave up their time to make this event happen. The occasion was an interactive learning journey to see how our food travels from field to plate. It was difficult to say which was our favourite animal (they were all so cute), but many of us were eager to smuggle home with us one of the piglets. 

As well as some delicious ice cream, we also sampled some tasty cheese, some scrumptious eggy bread and some fresh apple juice.

Our thanks to Holly Braund and Kimberley Neville for accompanying us.
