We have had a very busy week learning more about the farm. On Monday we had a visit from Caitlin’s brother who works on a dairy farm. He brought down his huge tractor to show us. He told us about all the different parts of the tractor and what it is used for.

On Wednesday we went on a trip to Mill Farm. We had a fantastic day. We started off by looking round the visitors centre and we got to see what it would be like to go into a real mine and then we went to the machinery barn. There were lots of different farm machinery which they used to use on the farm. Afterwards we split into our three groups and we went around the farm. We went to see all the different animals. We saw goats, cows, donkeys, chickens and geese. We also seen a pig who was trying to lose weight. We had a talk in the wartime garden where a lady told us all about growing vegetables. We learned how to make compost and how important worms are for the soil.

After lunch we went to play in an indoor play barn which was great fun. Then we headed over to the outdoor play area where we got to play on the trampolines, the jelly belly, go-karts and dig for fossils!

Before we went home we got to go for a tractor ride around the farm.

We had a fantastic day!
