Bringing the farm into the classroom was a reality for Tambar Spring Public School students this week.
The students had a video conference with a farmer and grazier on an 800 hectare farm in Victoria and participated in quizzes.
Students learnt valuable lessons about how farmers look after the land and animals so their farms are sustainable and how the different technology on a farm is used to check water levels pump water and view pests and diseases in crops.
Twenty-three schools participated and it was very exciting for the students to see other students on the video conference.
Next week, the students will put ear tags on their own cows to identify the herd.
A new teacher Jenny Fouracre will be working at the school on Thursday and Friday. Ms Fouracre is a very experienced and enthusiastic teacher who comes with a wealth of knowledge.
