Safety expert and former PE teacher Jason Cole, part of the project, said: "It is important that all children are given the opportunity to learn about food and farming in our beautiful countryside.
"This project goes some way to provide them with the tools to stay safe when they are out and about. Not only might they go on to choose careers in the countryside or live in rural settings, but we hope they will spend more leisure time there as they grow up appreciating farming and the countryside for all it has to offer.
"Giving them a set of skills to stay safe is truly something of value of their entire life."
