Papermaking, Storyboards & Bookmaking |
|
 This e-booklet aims to summarise a FACE seminar presented by inspirational artist and FACE member Ciara Healy.
Ciara worked with a group of farmers and teachers to introduce us to the skills of paper making, storyboarding and book making. These skills can then be transferred into activities with children on the farm (or in the classroom).

Involving Children In Risk On Farms |
|
 This resource aims to support teachers and farmers when guiding groups of children on farm visits.
It gives practical experiences to children, through active learning scenarios, allowing them to engage and interact with farm hazards in a controlled environment, avoiding giving children a prescribed set of ‘do’s and don’ts. Rather, it aims to let children learn about potential hazards in a fun and exciting way.

Children's Activities at Farm Open Days |
|
 Children almost always learn best by “doing”. When they attend Farm Open Days, they may spend some time listening and observing but they also benefit from the opportunity to get involved in activities. As well as enjoying themselves, children will develop a variety of manipulative and creative skills.
This booklet has come about by the sharing of ideas amongst members of the FACE team who attend many Farm Open Days during the year.

 A FACE seminar looked at the role of Storytelling in visits to farms and outdoor locations. Fiona Collins, an experienced storyteller, looked at how stories can be used in different settings and how they can be created with young people.
Download the Storytelling Ideas Booklet.
Participants at the seminar enjoyed trying out some of the techniques and Fiona has kindly given permission for the ideas we used to be made available.
