P1 visited Smallholmburn Farm this week as part of their farming topic. Farmer Stewart showed them how to milk cows and they were lucky to see an Arla tanker and learn what happens to milk when it leaves the farm. Vet Ian gave a scan to an expectant cow. It looks like everyone had a fantastic time.

Well I had a lot of fun taking the photos for this weeks achievements. There were so many pupils today that we were a bit squashed outside the office so Mrs Boyd came up with a fantastic idea and we ventured outside to take the photos. Thank you for braving the cold (at least it was dry!).
