CWDHS students host FARM water festival
June 15, 2018
FERGUS, Ontario – On June 15, students from the Centre Wellington District High School’s Food Agriculture Resource Management program (FARM) hosted a Water Festival as part of their Community Connected Experiential Learning program, which the Ministry of Education supports.
During the festival, CWDHS students spoke to kindergarten and grade one students from James McQueen PS and Victoria Terrace PS about the importance of water.
As part of a presentation about the value of water, students learned many important water facts including the fact that 78% of a baby’s body is made up of water and that lungs in a human body are made up of 83% water.
Throughout the day students learned about farming activities from the viewpoint of how water is used daily in the farming industry. Students had the opportunity to feel what it is like to milk a cow – using a bucket and balloons, learn about chickens, brush a cow and more.
During this fun educational day, students learned many ways to help save our water.
