Venue: Big Barn Farm
Program Type: Full-Day Experiential Learning Program
Age Group: Cambridge Primary Stage 1 (5–6 years)
Duration: Full-Day Farm Science Exploration
Focus: Understanding the needs of living things and how humans support them
Cambridge Primary Science (Stage 1):
• Identify common animals and plants
• Recognise that living things have basic needs
• Observe and describe features of animals
• Understand simple plant growth processes
Cambridge Primary English (Stage 1 – Speaking and Listening):
• Listen and respond appropriately
• Describe experiences using simple vocabulary
• Participate in structured discussion
Cambridge Primary Art & Design (Stage 1):
• Explore texture, shape, and colour in nature
• Create visual responses to real-life experiences
• Use drawing and simple modelling to represent understanding
“Life on the Land” transforms Big Barn Farm into a structured science-based exploration space. Students investigate how animals eat, grow, and stay safe; observe plant life cycles; explore natural textures; and understand how farm tools support living systems. The experience builds foundational biological understanding through observation, guided inquiry, and creative response.
Students will:
• Identify farm animals and plants
• Recognise that animals and plants need food, water, shelter, and care
• Observe textures, sounds, and movement
• Understand the simple seed-to-plant sequence
• Communicate observations verbally and visually
By the end of the program, students will:
• Name at least three farm animals
• State two needs of a living thing
• Describe one texture observed
• Plant and label a seed cup
• Demonstrate safe and respectful behaviour
• Share one learning point verbally
