Farmer Ben and Farmer Julie's Farm Visit

Here we are on our way to the farm!


We had to walk through lots of fields to get there! 

What is growing in this field? Can you remember?


At last we arrived...Farmer Ben and Farmer Julie were waiting to meet us.


We got to find out about the different kinds of crops that are grown on their farm:






What was in this bucket?



We played a game. Can you remember which of the things on Julie's table were made with wheat?






Farmer Ben and Farmer Julie's farm is not a farm that has animals on it, but they do have lots of ducks on their pond!


After all that fresh air, we were definitely ready for lunch!




After lunch we were given some hoops and bug collectors:


What bugs did you collect?




Here we are making a very special bookmark.







It was sadly time to leave the farm...but we did get a ride on the tractor and trailer back to school!






Just before we left the ducklings came to see us. Arthur counted 9 ducklings altogether. How many did you count?





Farmer Ben had a surprise for us on the way back. He stopped his tractor next to his field of cattle. 


He took a bucket of food with him into the field. We were hoping that the cows would come closer to us...


...they ran around the field for a bit but didn't come close at all!


What a fabulous visit!

Thank you to Farmer Ben and Farmer Julie for a wonderful day!

Wrens visit Easton Farm Park part 2!

This is Hannah who talked to us about keeping safe at the Farm Park:


















This is what Star wears to protect his eyes from the flies:


Anyone for a tractor and trailer ride?



Lunch time!







The peacock was very interested in looking at us, he made a very loud noise that made some of us jump!


Then he showed us his beautiful tail feathers!





















This is Harriet!!! Mrs Taylor thought this was funny!











We all liked the look of this ride, especially the grown ups!!!



After a busy day we just had time for a visit to the play area:







Lots of us loved the swing boats!





A quick ride on the tractors before heading for the coach.

Please excuse Mrs Squirrell's fingers in the next photos, it was very sunny!!!















What a fabulous day, we were all very sad to say goodbye to the farm.

Thank you to everyone who helped us today and thank you to all of the Wrens for their excellent behaviour!
