Baa Baa here and a Baa Baa there!

This half term, the Early Years topic has been about life down on the farm. We have been looking at the different animals on a farm, what they produce and the role of the Farmer.

We started off the topic the best way possible, with Emma from Millers Ark Farm coming into school with their farm animals for the day! The children in Ash, Maple and Cherry class dressed up as Farmers and ventured into the Early Years outside area to find that it had been taken over by a variety of animals roaming around the grass.

We had lots of fun not only looking at the farm animals, but also holding and learning how to take care of them! We met Larry the Lamb, who was only a week old! Pinky and Perky the Kune Kune Pigs, and the three Billy Goats Gruff. We brushed the donkeys brown fur, from their head to their tail, and held the hen's in our arms.
