Students learn their
Roots of Bruce
The first "Roots of Bruce" project,
bringing school children to the
Walkerton Agricultural Building to
learn about agriculture first hand,
was a huge success. "This week
(April 11 - 13) was immensely
satisfying and gratifying for all
commodity and committee members
involved," said Jayne Dietrich, chair
of the event.
A dedicated group of people who
headed committees and the hundreds
of volunteers provided a network of
people working for agriculture in
Bruce County second to none. "The
old adage of the more you give the
more you reap was never truer than
witnessed at "Roots of Bruce",
Dietrich said.
The Bruce County Agriculture in
the Classroom committee and a core
of 11 people, with the help of various
commodity groups, individuals,
farmers, educators throughout the
county, staged an agricultural
experience for 1,000 students of the
approximately 1,400 grade 6 students
in the county.
The response from students and
visitors to the Roots of Bruce was
extremely positive and consisted of a
half-day, hands-on, agriculturally
related learning activities such as the
students participating in sheep
shearing, washing cows' udders to be
milked, sitting on a strawberry
planter, butter processing, climbing
into the driver's seat of a combine,
checking soil erosion, identifying
seeds, classifying end products, and
computers. Volunteers presented the
activities in small group format and
were asked to make the activity
something that would not easily be
experienced in the classroom.
The activities were presented to
grade 6 students in support of the
learning outcome of the Common
Core Curriculum for Math, Science,
Technology, Arts and Language.
The committee felt that the program
best suited the Grade 6 requirements.
As well, grade 6 students are active
consumers and farmers had a
message they would remember. The
