We have had a fantastic trip to Scholland Farm today. \u00a0Mrs Leslie was showing us around. Jamie was busy doing what farmers do at this hectic time of year. \u00a0We were lucky to catch him for a little while and he came to tell us about some things before heading back to continue with some bailing. \u00a0Here are some photos.<\/p>\n

Jamie is baling straw so Mrs Leslie is telling us all about the barley and combining and then the straw being put into big bales to be used for animal bedding.<\/p>\n

Then we went to see the cows. \u00a0There were lots of them along with their calves. \u00a0They were being moved so we\u2019re running and kicking their heels with delight!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We stood back and watched. It was funny!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we got to see some of the farm machinery. Some of us knew what it was and some us learned what these were called and what it was used for.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

After that we went for a short walk along a track to see Jet caa the sheep. \u00a0Jet was lovely and did everything she was told. \u00a0We asked how she knew what to do and Jamie told us what commands he used to get her to do what he wanted. \u00a0She\u2019s very clever!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Next it was the vegetable patch and we were very lucky to see lots of different types of vegetables. \u00a0We even got some to take back to school and will use them this week.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Finally we passed the smelly slurry spreader and went to see the caddy lambs, hens and one of the horses.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We had a great time and even managed to see a few planes and helicopters take off and land. What a fantastic day we\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
