Victorian dairymaid talk KS 1 & 2
Chick development and animal talk KS1 & 2	RE: Harvest Bread making workshop The children are taken to wash their hands. Different sorts of bread and the history of bread making are discussed with the children including their own likes and dislikes. Unleaved and leavened breads and methods of leavening are mentioned. The children make a soda-bread roll each. They are shown examples of harvest rolls such as a mouse roll and plait roll. Many choose to make a mouse with cloves for eyes and nose. Bread snails and snakes have also been made! The bread is made upstairs in the farm restaurant and cooked in the kitchen. It is then bagged up and returned to the class teacher, so that it is not eaten until the children have washed their hands.
