Maiden Castle Farm Trip

 Hello Reception Families,

We had a fantastic trip to the farm today and luckily we escaped the bad weather, Hooray!

Hazel took us on a bear hunt, we walked around things, through things and over things, whilst expertly telling us all about the farm. Thank you so much for your time today Hazel.

We walked through turnips fields, pretended to be horses in a the horse box, met the cows and asked fantastic questions and joined in discussions about why they have tags in their ears, how many cows there are on the farm. We learnt about the wheat which is grown on the farm. We also met some wonderful pigs!

We had a drink and a snack in the teaching room and discussed how the sheep eat different food in the winter to the spring and summer!


I was so deeply impressed by how they children behaved and how far they walked, not one children muttered that they were tired. They attitudes towards the experience was truly inspired to learn and I felt a huge sense of pride!

I'd like to let the photos do the talking so here they are!



























Fantastic amazing job children, you are all incredible!

A very big thank you to the volunteers who accompanied us as well, we really valued your support today.

A very very proud Ms Evans and the reception team
