We started our day feeding the animals their breakfast which tickled our hands. The children loved seeing all the different animals and asked lots of questions based on what they observed. The children stroked the calfs and used lots of descriptive language about how they felt. We went to see the baby piglets sleeping in the barn and we thought the different types of chickens looked really funny!
The next activity was to meet the rabbits which we thought was very soft. The children knew that they needed to handle the rabbits gently so that the rabbits did not get hurt. From here, we went to feed the baby calfs their milk. This brought a lot of laughter amongst the children as the calfs were very thirsty sucking on the bottles. As this made us hungry we thought it would be a good time to have lunch! The children loved their party boxes filled with a yummy sandwich and treats followed by a cracker that they pulled with a friend.
After our lunch we were ready go again!
We went to see someone very special who wears red and we were so EXCITED to see him!
Yes it was Santa! Whilst we waited our turn we made some reindeer food to take home and looked at the reel reindeers in the barn. An elf then came to collect us and we all sat together to see Santa and told him what we would like for Christmas. Santa gave us all a big present!
The fun didn't stop there.....!
We went on a tractor ride which was a little bumpy, making it fun! We saw the sheep in the field who are due to have baby lambs in February and we got to see the shire horse with her foals. We then went to see all the other children and went to play in the soft play area. Here the children demonstrated different ways of moving and collaborated with their friends by helping them onto the equipment. After such a long day all the children were all exhausted, some had a little nap on the way home.
What a wonderful day we had!
