Discovery Blog- 22.05.23

Look at what Kirsty’s class have been doing this week!

Nursery children visited Newham Grange farm, they were all excited for the trip. First, we explored the discovery barn, we saw a sleeping big pig, a pony, baby lambs and guinea pigs called Lily and fudge. The lambs were just as excited to see the children as they were them, we fed them some food and stroked their soft fur. The children’s favourite part of the day was definitely seeing the guinea pigs and rabbits. We then went for a walk around the farm where we saw lots of bigger animals, the children recognised cows, horses, ducks, chickens and lamas. The children had lots of fun listening to the different animal sounds as they explored and enjoyed copying them, it was lovely to see they recognised so many animals.

All the excitement made the children hungry, we had our own room to sit and relax and eat lunch. After lunch the children went to play at the park, playing on the swings, slide and climbing frame.

The farm trip ends our topic this term of animals, the children have enjoyed making animals, completing animal themed maths & literacy activities and animal yoga.
