The animals keep a coming to Classes 1 and 2 and we love it! Our most recent visitors have been Fin’s chickens, Tristan’s pony, Jack and Jess’s hamster, Rosie’s guinea pigs and Jack and Lily’s rabbit. We are always very excited to see different pets and learn all about them.

Classes 1 and 2 visited Bickham Farm as part of their learning about food and where it comes from. Rod Hall kindly showed us all around his farm and told us about his horses, cows and calves and his chickens and bees.

Bickley, a golden retriever, and his owner Theresa (from the Blue Cross charity) paid Classes 1 and 2 a visit to help us learn about what animals need to survive. Theresa and Bickley helped the children recognise that the things humans need to stay alive and well are very similar to the needs of animals….
Classes 1 and 2 had a wonderful time in Dartington. We walked to the woods and took part in activities based on the seasons and on food chains, which were great fun. After lunch in a lovely warm building we went on a very muddy walk by the river. We were all exhausted at the…
