AgriKids™ Farm Safety Ambassadors

5th - 6th Class

Welcome 5th & 6th Class!

This page and its resources are designed for those children participating in the 5th & 6th Class level of the AgriKids Farm Safety Ambassador Programme.

At the senior level, we also work on their potential to be mentors and role models for younger classes. In the younger groups, workbooks were used to support the learning, in this group we have provided a list of project ideas for each theme. If you have your own ideas, please feel free to use them and share them with us so we can promote best learning and collaboration throughout the AgriKids Family.

Remember to choose your AgriKids Farm Safety Ambassador Theme for this year. Each theme correlates with a specific area of concern regarding child safety on farms and is designed to further promote safety awareness. Schools who collect all three Ambassador Theme Pennants are awarded the AgriKids™ Farm Safety Flag and are added to the AgriKids™ Farm Safety Ambassador Alumni. Follow the steps and remember we are here to help you on each and every step of your journey!
