Magnificent Milk

Graham welcomes us to a dairy farm in Blackburn, where we’re finding out all about milk

Key learning points are:

  • Where milk comes from
  • How milk is processed at the dairy
  • Why milk is good for us
  • The different kinds of food that are made from milk

 

Pupils will also get the chance to ask Graham questions about milk.
