The Holt Farm!

 
We had a great day in year one yesterday visitng The Holt Farm. The children learnt lots of interesting facts about the animals, the crops and the farm machinery.  We are looking forward to producing work from the learning we did on our visit to the farm!
This is Chris, one of the farmers. He told us all about the cows and bulls
they have at the farm and some interesting facts about them. We found out
that they have passports just like us to track them when they move around farms!


All of the children had the opportunity to sit in one of the
tractors.

The farmers told us about the different machinery
they have at the farm and some of the functions
of the machinery.


We went in a trailer from one end of the farm to
the other where we had our lunch and did a scavenger hunt.


We found out about the different crops that are
grown at the farm and all of the different foods
that can be produced from these.


The children worked together to order the crop cycle
that happens through the year.





We all had a go at grinding the wheat to make some flour!
