Kilcoe NS Farm Safe School

We wrote a Slurry Pit Rap to teach everyone about the dangers around a slurry pit. We made a video of the rap and posted it on our school facebook page and youtube channel for every one to see.   

We learned all about Tractor and Machinery Safety. We completed worksheets for our farm Safety scrap book and we designed posters.
