In conjunction with the National Trust of Victoria, Year 6 students have been asked to design a chook shed for construction at Nehill Brother’s Farm. After months of work researching heritage chook breeds and their needs, the students created their own design for a chook shed and the completed entries were sent to Melbourne for consideration by Martin Green, the Learning and Interpretations Manager of the Victorian National Trust. Last Thursday, Martin travelled from Melbourne to meet with the students and hear from them about their research and ideas. He was most impressed with the enthusiasm and thought the students put into their work. Martin described the role of a Project Manager & outlined that it was an exciting and creative job planning projects from their conception to their completion and could cover everything from designing software games to building dairies or chook sheds! Over the next few months, a Timboon P-12 chook shed will be built at Nehill Brother’s Farm and our future project will be to stock the chook shed with heritage breeds so visitors can gain an appreciation of these older breeds of chickens. The students of year 6 would like to thank Martin and the National Trust for this opportunity and look forward to following the project to completion. Comments are closed.
