On Thursday 26th March, Robins and Wrens visited Ash End House Children's Farm
near Tamworth. We were all very excited about going on a journey, and we all
remembered to pack our sandwiches! We saw lots of animals, including some baby
ones which helped us with our topic question, 'Does everything grow?' We met
some chicks which were only 2 days old, and some of us were brave enough to hold
some of the older chicks. Then we were able to collect an egg each which we were
allowed to take home to eat - yummy!! We fed oats to the goats (one of them was
so hungry he tried to nibble on Mrs Young!) and we gave a baby lamb some milk
from a bottle. We saw a giant shire horse and we stroked some sheep, as well as
seeing lots of ducks and chickens - some of them looked like they were wearing
feathery trousers! We had our lunch in a real barn before playing on the
playground and bouncing high on the bouncy cushion. Then it was time to say
goodbye to Ash End House Farm and make our way back to school. We had a
wonderful day, and our teachers were really proud of our excellent behaviour and
the great questions we asked Farmer Jenny.
