Combinable Crops Feed Pupils’ Creativity
Combinable Crops feed pupils’ creativity
The theme Combinable Crops has clearly stimulated the minds and imagination of many of the county’s school pupils, as once again the Suffolk Schools Competition has attracted a large number of entries across the seven classes.
The judges will shortly make their decisions and the winning work will be exhibited in the Muntons/SAA stand at the show, so be sure to go and take a look. The winners will also be presented with their certificates and a cash prize on the second day of the show and we welcome all Members to come along to the awards presentation to congratulate both the teachers who are encouraging pupils of all ages to take an interest in the countryside and agriculture as well as the schoolchildren themselves. We must do all we can to ensure they know where their food comes from and grow their love and appreciation of this rural county.
As ever our thanks go to competition partners Muntons plc, who during the course of the initiative, yearly invite all key stage 3 and 4 participating schools to visit their Stowmarket premises for a demonstration in their test bakery so pupils can experience at first hand what happens to the barley once it leaves the field. In addition, Suffolk County Council education advisers play a major role in ensuring that the project work is aligned with the National Curriculum.
The seven classes were as follows:
Early Years – A Painting of a Suffolk Farm
Key Stage 1 – Painting of a Scarecrow
Key Stage 2, lower - Design and production of a board game entitled “Combinable Crops – The Road for Harvest”
Key Stage 2, upper – An illustrated poem entitled “Harvest”
