Farm Tours
As an after school activity, Farm Club takes place every Thursday from 4pm until 5.30pm during school term time only.
Any child between 8 & 12 years old is able to join. (We are happy to discuss options to make this activity as accessible as possible to children who may need support.)
What we do: Depending on arrangements for each session, we may take care of the animals, work in the Garden and combine this with some arts & crafts activity in our classroom.
The aim is to learn lots but have fun at the same time!
Some activities planned for 2009:
- Sorting fruit and vegetables for the animals
- Walking the ferrets
- Stroking and caring for Rabbits
- Assisting with Sheep feeding
- Calendar making
- Rocket Launching
- Creating a Map of the Farm and a Trail for Visitors
- Glass painting
- Juice making
... and many more!!
