Welcome to our Website!
Farmer Time
We are delighted that Saviour Primary is now part of the Farmer Time initiative. Children get to learn all about the agricultural industry and see what life is really like in the countryside.
We are matched with an organic dairy farm in Ayrshire, Scotland. Year 2 currently has fortnightly communication with Farmer Rob, who keeps us up to date with what is happening on the farm, reflecting the topics we are learning in Geography and Science.
Take a look at what’s been going on at the farm in recent months!

Year 2 currently have fortnightly communication with Farmer Rob who keeps us up to date with what is happening on the farm and matches his discussions to our learning in geography and science.
