On the last day of term, FS2 went to Ash End House Children's Farm near Tamworth as a Fantastic Finish to our topic 'Does Everything Grow?'
On arrival (after much excitement about travelling on a great big coach!) we played in the playground before an early lunch in the barn. Then we met the farmers who would show us around the farm. We saw lots of the animals we had been learning about: we fed the ducks and gave oats to the goats (even Simon the goat who tried to headbutt Mrs Allen!). Then we saw and held some baby chicks and collected eggs which we could take home to our families. We met cows, sheep and lambs, and even saw a new baby shire horse (who looked quite big for a baby!)
We had a wonderful day - all of the children were real ambassadors for Silverhill and were extremely polite and well behaved. We were all exhausted and some children sensibly had a snooze on the coach on the way home.
