Farm staff bring out a couple of each of the animals, wherever possible: donkeys, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys OR geese, guinea pigs, rabbits & our dog. They provide hands on time with the animals as well as teaching time, suited to the age and abilities of the pupils. This could be discussing what animals need, what comes from which animal, looking at a farmer’s day or the seasonal cycle of a farmer’s year, work on textures and craft work with the wool.
