Streamvale Farm Class Trip P3SG/JD
22nd May 2017
First we went on a nature trail and got to feed many animals
On the trail we met some goats
A huge pig called Kevin
A beautiful red deer named Edwin. Did you know that when a deers antlers are fully grown they fall off and then they grow new ones. We got to touch them!
We fed the ducks.Did you know that a male duck has a curl in its tail and a female doesn't-that's how to tell the difference!
We met a very lazy pig called Peppa who was fast asleep even with all our noise!
Then we got to pet some baby chicks
We saw where they lived on the farm with big heat lamps to keep them warm.
Next we went to pets corner,look at this cute family of 3week old bunnies!
Farmers hard at work in the digger and tractor zone
There were lots of larger floppy eared rabbits too!
More goats
After looking at the pets we got to feed a goat it's bottle of milk.
He was really hungry!
We had to hold the bottle very tight as he was so excited
He drank the bottle very quickly!
After that we all got a turn at petting the baby rabbits.
They felt so soft!
Melissa one of our P3 assistants fell in love with the rabbits and waited patiently in line for her turn!
She was so excited!
After pets corner we met Buttercup the milking cow-we all got a go at trying to squeeze the teats to try and get something out
Farmers can get around quickly on a farm using a quad which we all wanted to sit on!
What a pro!
We even got to see a real milking parlour
At last it was time to enjoy our lunch outside on the picnic benches
Yummy yummy!
After lunch we had some time to visit all the play areas at the farm-this was the straw bounce.
Racing around on the pedal go karts!
Trying out the diggers in the sand
Saddle up our horses
Put all the animals in for the night
Ball play
