Balnamore’s Peter digs it!

UFU deputy president, David Brown said: “A huge congratulations to Peter who was awarded runner up in the key stage one category in this year’s competition.

We received a fantastic 1000 competition entries this year relating to the UFU’s food and farming education resource “Dig In!” which encourages pupils to learn more about food, farming, and the countryside.

“Every year we are impressed by the standard and creativity of entries and this year was no different. The effort and time that pupils, teachers, parents and guardians put into the competition was evident as all of the entries were of the highest standard and I would like to thank Balnamore Primary School for contributing to this.

“I hope that by participating in the competition this year, it created discussion in the home and classrooms about the importance of food and farming in NI allowing children to learn more about the passion and dedication of our farmers, who work hard seven days a week to produce delicious, high-quality, healthy food that we consume daily.”

“Dig In!” was produced by the UFU with the help of Agri Aware.
