Get pupils thinking about where their food comes from and the issues facing farmers today in a series of themed challenges
Farmvention The snappily titled Farmvention (when farming meets invention) is a national STEM competition aimed at primary school children, run by the NFU. Comprising three problem-based challenges that children can take part in either as individuals or in teams, the competition is designed to make children think about the day-to-day issues faced by farmers and growers in England and Wales. Finalists will present their ideas at a prestigious event at the Houses of Parliament during British Science and Engineering Week 2019, as well as winning farm visits, robotics kits, data loggers and chef visits. The winner will have their school turned into a farm for the day. All entrants will become certifi ed ‘farmventors’ and will also receive a reward pack. The competition closes on 21 December.

The National Literacy Trust, in partnership with ALCS, is giving pupils a chance to produce a tourist guide or a map of the place they’d most like to visit from a book – it could be the Forbidden Forest in the grounds of Hogwarts, or the chocolate river in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. To celebrate the trust’s 25th anniversary, 25 lucky schools will win a visit from an author.
