Today Reception class have started their topic of the farm. We went to Bill Quay farm to see all the different animals. Suzanne showed us around the farm and told us lots of interesting things about the animals. Did you know they have some of the rarest pigs and sheep in Britain?
This pig is called Manny. Isn't he huge? He was very lively and noisy when we fed him.
He used his very large snout to sniff out the food we had thrown in.
We fed lots of different birds on the farm too. They were very excited to be fed. We talked about the different things we get from the animals. We know that eggs come from chickens and the meat on our Sunday dinners comes from some of the animals too.
One of the best bits of the trip was stroking the new born baby lamb. He was very cute and was lovely and soft.
We also got to stroke a 17 year old Shetland Pony called Toby. He stood very still whilst we all said hello.
We saw lots of baby animals too and learned their names. We know pigs have piglets, sheep have lambs, rabbits have kittens and a baby cow is called a calf.
These sleepy piglets have had a very long day.
This chick was born in the early hours of this morning. There are 5 altogether. This was the surprise at the end of our visit. We had a lovely time.
A big thank you to Mr Moore for organising our trip and Denise, Miss Teasdale and Caitlin and Pauls Mums for helping us today!!
