Topic - On The Farm

We had a fantastic trip to Quanterness Farm to experience life ‘On the Farm’ first hand! We had a great afternoon, we met cows, a calf, we saw sheep being sheared, we met ‘Tam’ the sheepdog and we saw a big Aberdeen Angus bull too! After that we took turns in William’s new tractor, it was a bit of a climb up but we managed! To finish the visit we saw a chicken and we all had a chance to stroke her and feel her soft feathers! A great day out.

Topic - On The Farm

For our topic ‘On the Farm’ we have been learning about the life cycle of chickens. We discovered how a hen makes then lays and egg and how the baby chick develops inside the shell. We were delighted to discover that a pupil had been incubating eggs at school and we went to see the newly born chicks!
