| Schools Liaison and The Development
Education Centre in Birmingham worked together in October
to introduce Birmingham school children to the idea of
sustaining food resources around the world. At Sarehole
Mill, pupils from James Watt Infant School in Birmingham,
followed the journey of a grain of wheat to a loaf of
bread. They ground up corn and baked bread from the flour
that they had made. They took pictures of their work with
a digital camera and would like to show you some of them. |

the mill in Queen Victoria's time. |

plough that they used to use to turn over the earth so
the seeds could be planted. You can see the big blade in
the middle called a coulter that cut through the earth
and the mold board that turned it upside down. The plough
was pulled by a team of horses but in some countries,
they use oxen or even elephants Back to contents
