AgriKids Farm Safety Ambassador Programme

5th - 6th Class

Welcome!

This page and its resources are designed for those children participating in the 5th - 6th Class level of the AgriKids Farm Safety Ambassador Programme.  It can also be enjoyed in ad hoc farm safety lesson planning.   At the senior level, we also work on their potential to be mentors and role models for younger classes. Here you will find the tools to assist you and your pupils on your Ambassador journey.  In the younger groups, workbooks were used to support the learning, in this group we have provided a list of project ideas for each theme.  If you have your own ideas, please feel free to use them and share them with us so we can promote best learning and collaboration throughout the AgriKids Family.
