Everyone in Nursery had an amazing time on our farm visit this week, we saw everything from newly born lambs, cows and pigs - we could even identify their footprints from the work we'd been doing in the classroom!  

The 16th March 2011 was a beautiful sunny morning; the perfect weather for visiting Higher South Buckland Farm at Nottington where we were welcomed by Pete and Jen Davies.  Firstly we visited the lambing shed to see a lamb that was only an hour old.  We stroked some other lambs and felt their hearts beating really quickly.

We then watched the pedigree cows munching on sugar beet and saw the differences between the breeds.  Next we visited the adult pigs and saw Ivor the big new boar.  The pigs were huge and they really loved eating the cores and peel that we fed them after we ate our snacks!

Before we left we visited the chickens who were kind enough to let us all have an egg to take home for tea.

We have not stopped talking about all that we saw and did on the farm -  thank you Pete and Jen for a memorable morning!
