As part of their topic on 'Farmer Duck', Beech and Chestnut classes visited nearby Odds Farm in June.
For many of the children, this was their first excursion on a coach, which caused great excitement - especially when the coach turned a corner or went down a hill!
The children went around in small groups of 3 or 4 in the company of an adult helper and had a great time experiencing a variety of activities including :- feeding the animals, a trailer ride, bouncing on haybales and a picnic lunch. Everyone came back very tired

These piglets were very sweet but a bit nervous.

The tractor ride provides an opportunity to have a sit down. These sheep have found a shady spot for a quiet rest. Who is looking at who? We enjoyed feeding the animals.
