Farm Visit
Mrs Holmes, Miss Turner and Mrs. Bush took our amazing reception and year 1 children to the farm, we had a fantastic day even in the rain!
It was great fun being collected by tractor and trailer. We saw Hickling broad, walked, jumped and cleaned our wellies in the puddles (we all loved this bit!) In the fields there were potatoes and sugar beet growing, farmer Jack pulled some up for us to see. When we got to the farm we all had a turn sitting in the tractor and combine harvester, most of us curled up inside the wheels. We all held chicks and found out that at the moment they have 80,000 chicks on the farm - wow!! We looked at creatures from the pond, different moths, pictures of different birds and we found out how birds are ringed, we even had a go at throwing toy birds in to the net that catches them for ringing. After all of this we ran down to the old mill and climbed to the top, we could see across the broad and lots of swans. On the way home we stopped off to see the cows and their calves, the bull was HUGE and watched us very closely!
Mrs. Holmes was really proud of us all, we behaved superbly and showed how respectful and fantastic our school is.
