Students use a range of activities and develop understandings about how to act and behave safely on farms, and then explore how they can make the right decisions when it comes to safety.

After exploring the topic of health, safety, and wellbeing on farms, students then recreate texts, models, animation and much more, imaginatively using drawing, writing and digital forms of communication.

The activities are also suitable for teachers and students in early childhood and care settings such as long day care services, preschools, kindergartens, and outside school hour care services (OSHS).

The pages in this resource are intended as starting points for a cross-curricular approach to learning, based on the George the Farmer YouTube video “The Farm Safety Song”. In what ways are the kids in the video being unsafe? Discuss the do's and don'ts with your students.

George’s music can be found on Spotify or Apple Music.

The activities seek to complement and extend the enjoyment students will experience from watching the video, whilst at the same time meeting some of the requirements of curriculum outcomes.

This George the Farmer Educational Resource aims to raise awareness about many of the things the apple industry does to grow, produce, and provide us with healthy apples to eat and enjoy!

There is a maze of terminology that surrounds the cultivation of apples, and navigating your way through can be daunting, but it is not as complex as it looks.
Did you know that apples are classified according to their sweetness as well as whether they are dessert apples, ‘eaters’ or culinary varieties known as ‘cookers’, and whether they are ready for picking early, mid-season or late?
Apple trees are also categorised according to size and shape. In addition, they are grouped according to when their blossom appears.

This free curriculum-aligned educators guide for Foundation - Year 4 levels focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths and Sustainability (STEAM) subjects.

The pages in this resource are intended as starting points for a cross-curricular approach to learning, based on the George the Farmer YouTube video “Apples” and accompanying Virtual Reality (VR) video on YouTube or through the FarmVR app.

It is also suggested that students read ‘George the Farmer Hailstorm Heroes’ which is about apples, food waste and sustainability.

The activities seek to complement and extend the enjoyment students will experience from seeing the video and VR, whilst at the same time meeting some of the requirements of curriculum outcomes.

The activities in this resource can be printed out for students, or alternatively, display the activity page from the PDF on your interactive white board or import an activity page into your online teaching and learning environment such as Google Slides and have the students use their existing workbooks to complete the task.

This George the Farmer Educational Resource aims to raise awareness about many of the things the chickpea industry does to farm, grow, produce, process and provide us with healthy, non-fatty protein-rich food!

So what are chickpeas? Chickpeas are a type of pulse. Pulses are a food group of dried edible seeds from the legume family. They include faba beans, lupins, lentils, chickpeas, and field peas and are a critical part of the general food basket.

Chickpeas are food plants whose seeds are enclosed in pods. They fix nitrogen into the soil as they grow, improving the condition of the soil for future uses.

Pulses grown by Australian farmers include lentils, chickpeas, peas, faba beans, mung beans and adzuki beans. 90% of Australian pulses are exported overseas with the Indian Subcontinent, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia the largest importers/buyers of Australia’s various pulses. Pulses are grown in all states of Australia (excluding the territories).

Did you know that there are different types of dairy farms located across Australia? Some are large commercial farms with automated and robotic systems while others aren’t. Some dairy farmers milk cows once, twice or sometimes three times a day in environments like milking sheds that are specially designed and electronically controlled. Milking stalls in these sheds can be set out in a ‘herringbone’ pattern or on a continuously rotating platform called a rotary that allows the cows to move through the dairy easily and efficiently with minimal handling.

This George the Farmer Educational Resource aims to raise awareness about plantation forests resources, management, the interrelationships within plantation forests, and farming forests.

Plantation forests are of great value, as they make an economic contribution to the country from timber production and employment, while also contributing to catchment protection, recreation, and climate improvement.

Growing trees in plantations is just like growing a crop of wheat or barley. Except instead of harvesting one crop a year, trees in plantations can take up to 30 years before they reach the right height and diameter for mills to process them into timber. The people who grow and manage these forests are known as foresters.

Australia’s plantation forests supply most of the timber and a significant proportion of the paper products used by Australians, and are considered some of the most sustainably managed in the world. The forests are considered some of the most sustainable in the world.

This free curriculum-aligned educators guide for Foundation - Year 4 levels focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths and Sustainability (STEAM) subjects.

This George the Farmer educational resource is intended as starting points for a cross-curricular approach to learning, based on the George the Farmer YouTube video “George the Farmer Forestry” and its accompanying Virtual Reality (VR) experience ‘George the Farmer Forestry VR’ on YouTube or through the FarmVR app. Classes are encouraged to look at the video, the VR and read the lyrics to the song included in this resource.

The forests of Australia serve many important purposes. They provide habitats for plants and animals and places for recreation, enjoyment, and culture. Trees in forests help clean our water, protect our soils, and help fight climate change by capturing and storing carbon from the atmosphere in their wood.

Productive sustainably managed forests provide us with renewable wood products (timber), paper (wood fibre), and other forest products like honey. It is important that forests are managed sustainably – for today and forever - to balance these competing demands. A small area of Australia’s forests are used to produce a sustainable source of wood and wood fibre. They are like farms — every tree that is grown and harvested is again replaced with at least one more, just like a crop.

In forestry, trees are the crop being grown to produce wood products (timber) and wood fibre (for paper and board).

Whereas our farmers can grow and harvest a plant crop once or more a year, it can take up to thirty years or longer for plantation trees to be ready to harvest, and even longer for trees in a native forest.

Although occupying only 1.5% of Australia’s total forest area, plantation forests produce more than 87% of the total annual log harvest and are therefore important to Australia’s wood and wood fibre supply.

This free curriculum-aligned educators guide for Foundation - Year 4 levels focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths and Sustainability (STEAM) subjects.

This George the Farmer educational resource is intended as starting points for a cross-curricular approach to learning, based on the George the Farmer YouTube video “George the Farmer Forestry” and its accompanying Virtual Reality (VR) experience ‘George the Farmer Forestry VR’ on YouTube or through the FarmVR app. Classes are encouraged to look at the video, the VR and read the lyrics to the song included in this resource.
