As part of learning where our food comes from, P1 – 4 donned their wellies and headed off to a farm visit courtesy of Jacqui, Scott and Gregor Service.<\/p>\n

\n
The children have been studying farming in school, so today came to see that in action. They met the calves and learned all about their breeds, what they feed on, how they are looked after and how Scott and Gregor manage them. They also got to have some fun acting as cows in the Cattle Crush and enjoyed exploring the tractor and quad bike.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They finished with a walk up to the wind turbines to talk about how the farm is being more sustainable, generating ‘green’ energy to do it’s bit to help protect our planet.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The children were full of enthusiasm and chatter.\u00a0 Thank you so much to the Service Family and RHET for a great learning experience.<\/div>\n
