The Farm

The Kids area of the Anchor website has some great info and a neat animated explanation of how Anchor produces their milk.


A cute little song introducing all the babies you may meet down on the farm.

A cow 'drag & drop' puzzle.
Note: Other childrens' games can be accessed from this page, so be aware.

This American dairy farming site has some great video clips of all aspects of dairy farming, and some interactive games to play.

Another great site to look at dairy farming. This site would require adult assistance as there is a lot of reading involved.

Another virtual tour of a Dairy farm.

This site has some good Dairy farm information, although some is specific to the U.S.
Have a look at: the video interviews with Donna Kerr, the milking parlour, (you can 'control the camera' to look around the parlour) test your knowledge of dairy cows, (adult assistance needed to read information/questions) and read up on definitions of 'farmer words'.

Personal Safety

The Hector's World site has some neat interactives to help children learn about the sorts of personal information they should and shouldn't give out.

Bees

Cool math 4 Kids
The 'Number Twins' and 'Maths Lines' at this site are great for helping children remember basic facts - groups of numbers that add together to make a given number. Start small 1-5 then as they become confident try up to 10.....then beyond to 20.
