Summary:

Rachel Jenkinson is a third-year trainee teacher at Edge Hill University in Lancashire. She has chosen a specialism in art, and is keen to include a Year 2 class visit to a gallery as part of her placement plan. Cait Simpson, her tutor at Edge Hill, and Lucy Price, the class teacher at Garswood Primary, support her through the process of formulating a scheme of work and putting it into action, around a central theme of farming. We see the results of all her preparations when the class spends a day at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where she has planned activities based around a detailed look at a painting of a farm in the nineteenth century. This visit is closely followed by another to a working farm, where the children meet live farm animals and learn about where food comes from.
