When the siege lifts check out the country

When life gets back to normal after foot and mouth an agri-education pack called Springtime on the Farm will come into its own. Some 35,000 copies this teachers' resource booklet designed to entice both teachers and students into the world of farming and agriculture have been issued to primary schools. It contains two lesson plans for teachers, photocopiable worksheets and a competition for students. Classroom activities include creating a mini-field and growing a potato crop. Prizes, for teachers and students, range from scooters to weekend breaks for two, farmhouse-style of course! Details from Orla Mulligan (01) 4601103 or www.agriaware.ie.
