    The document describes the process of growing strawberries. It explains that farmers first make mounds of soil called beds, which some do using a machine called a bedformer. The beds are then covered with plastic to keep the strawberries warm and help them grow. Strawberry plants are planted through holes in the plastic. The plants grow flowers that turn into red strawberries. Farmers may grow strawberries in plastic tunnels for protection. The ripe strawberries are picked by hand and placed into punnets, which are then loaded into crates and lorries to be transported to markets and supermarkets for sale.

    Phase 1
    Strawberries

    CommNet 2013

    Do you know what these are?

    They are
    strawberries.

    How are they grown?


    CommNet 2013

    First, the farmer makes soil


    mounds.
    The mounds
    are called
    beds.

    CommNet 2013

    Some farmers use a machine to


    do this.
    The
    machine is
    called a
    bedformer.

    CommNet 2013

    Next, the beds are


    covered with plastic.

    CommNet 2013

    The farmer makes holes in


    the plastic and plants the
    strawberry plants.

    CommNet 2013

    The plastic
    keeps the
    strawberries
    warm and
    helps them
    grow.

    The strawberry plants grow


    small white flowers.

    CommNet 2013

    The flowers die and fruit


    grows in
    their place.

    Can you see the


    strawberries?

    What colour are they?


    CommNet 2013

    When the strawberries turn red,


    they are ready to be picked.

    CommNet 2013

    Some farmers grow strawberries in


    large plastic tunnels.

    The tunnels
    protect the
    strawberries
    from bad
    weather.

    CommNet 2013

    Look at all these tunnels!

    How many tunnels can you see?


    CommNet 2013

    When the strawberries are


    ready, they
    are picked by
    hand.
    They have to
    be picked by
    hand because
    they are too
    soft to be
    picked by
    machine.
    Can you see the pickers?
    CommNet 2013

    When they have been picked, the


    strawberries are put into punnets.
    How many punnets
    can you see?

    CommNet 2013

    The punnets are put into crates so


    they can be moved around
    easily.

    CommNet 2013

    Sometimes the strawberries are


    sold in
    a farm shop or on a
    market.

    CommNet 2013

    Sometimes strawberries are


    loaded into a lorry and taken to a
    supermarket.
    The lorry
    may also
    take the
    strawberries
    to another
    country to be
    sold.
