Fieldays - Your thoughts #4

Here is the interview with a person from the Milking group. They asked general questions to do with Fieldays, what we like about studying farming and how do we find working in groups.

What is Farming

Room ten has begun an Inquiry into how we learn from the past and the past of others. This is our concept and ourcontext is Farming.

To do this we had independant inquiry time then shared our ideas and came up with a whole class word bank of important words. From there we got into our 5 groups and came up with our own definitions then shared with the class and discussed all of them giving feedback and feedforward. We chose 3 that we really liked and put it together to come up with the following definition.
