On Thursday of this week we had a fantastic visit from RHET (The Royal Highland Education Trust) who provided the opportunity for the children to see a tractor and a lamb close up. Although a few children were initially a little shy of our visiting lamb, by the end of the visit most were stroking and brushing him. Thank you to Mrs. Ker for giving up her time to help the children learn so much about looking after a lamb. This was an experience they will all remember.
\nThanks also go to local company Carr\u2019s for providing a shiny new tractor for the children to explore and learn about. As you can see from the happy smiles, they all loved sitting up in the cab and finding out about the different switches and how the tractor is used. They compared the wheels to themselves in size, counted the bolts and made rubbings of the numbers and letters on the tyres. It really was amazing to them all how huge the tractor was close up.
\nFinally we would like to thank Fiona Jamieson, the project co-ordinator, who was so helpful in arranging this visit, ensuring all Health and Safety rules were followed and that the children had a great learning experience.
\nHere are photos of the some of the morning children. Afternoon photos will follow soon.
