The current workshops we offer are about The Chicken Lifecycle, Growing Food, Bike power and Creative Recycling, see below for details about each one. If you would like to book a workshop download our booking form and send it to charlie@hackneycityfarm.co.uk
If you have topics that you particularly want to cover then please let us know and we can tailor the workshop. Our standard workshop is £120.
Chicken and Egg
What comes first, the chicken or the egg? This workshop looks at the constituent parts of an egg and what is required to hatch them, how chickens change in appearance as they grow and how to distinguish between cockerels and hens.
Growing Food
Where does our food come from and what does it need to grow? We look at the lifecycle of plants, pollination, nutrients and how we supply them to crops. The children plant a seed to take back to the school and follow its growth.
Creative Recycling
Make a collaborative art piece and learn about weather and renewable energy in the process. Your class will produce a “junk sculpture” by recycling plastic bottles and have a selection of windmills that you can display at school.
Bicycle powered generators
Working with Magnificent revolution pupils will learn about the issues surrounding energy production, consumption, climate change and what can be done to assure a sustainable future. The workshops are unique as they incorporate a bicycle power generator, which ties in/compliments many aspects of the curriculum from Science to PE.
