Class 3 has been exploring their Living on Earth Main Lesson, learning about how people live, work and care for the land. Through the story of a family moving from the city to the country, the children are discovering what it takes to build a farm and become self-sufficient.

Hands-on experiences have been a special part of this learning. The children have made butter, germinated apple seeds and threshed wheat, and will soon spiral apples, grind wheat into flour, bake bread and explore the honey making process.

Through these activities, the children are developing an understanding of how soil, plants, animals and the sun work together, and how human life depends on this balance. This Main Lesson is helping to foster a growing sense of gratitude, responsibility and respect for the natural world and the work involved in sustaining everyday life.
