Maple Class set off to the farm where the woods are, in search of signs of Spring and Spring animals. They found lots of dandelions and spotted the leaves emerging on all of the trees along the Forest Way.
The children stopped at the bottom of the sandy track and got involved in making foot prints and mark making in the sandy soil in the field for a while.
We came to visit the chicks that we had hatched in the incubator last term and to see how much they had grown. The children were brilliantly confident when being around the chickens and were interested to investigate their hen house.
The sheep on the farm have just lambed and the class spent a while looking at them bouncing and baaing around the field.
“They have numbers on their back, they are blue numbers”
The children looked at the ducks on the farm pond.
“Do the chickens learn to fly?”
“They are a lot bigger, they have grown a lot”
“The brown ducks are female and the other ones are not”
