Acorn Farm

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Nursery Year: 2017 - 2018

Nursery had a fantastic day at Acorn Farm.

We met chickens, ducks, meerkats, rabbits, pigs, horses, a bull, some calves, goats and sheep with their newborn lambs. Children enjoyed helping the farm staff to feed the animals, especially the goats who were very greedy.
We spent time in the petting area, meeting young hens, a rabbit and a gunea-pig. Our tour guide Alison encouraged the children to share their own knowledge and ask questions to help them further their understanding. 

Before returning to school we took advantage of the play area, even the staff joined in!

We finished our visit with some delicious home made ice-cream that had been produced on the farm.

"The cheeky goat was funny. He kept licking my hand when I feeded him. It was so tickly and his tongue feeled like blu-tack" - Jacob
