Year 1 had an amazing day at Smithills Farm, setting off on the coach full of excitement and ready for an adventure. There were lots of cheerful cries of “Are we there yet?” along the way, building the excitement even more. When we arrived, we met all the friendly farm staff before beginning our farm exploration. We enjoyed looking at the reptiles, including bearded dragons, a snake and spiders, and then had great fun feeding the goats in the field. In Pets Corner, children were delighted to stroke baby goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas, and also had the chance to hold chicks and rabbits. One of the highlights of the day was a ride on a tractor to where the donkeys were waiting to be feed some delicious bread. We also watched the cows being milked before finishing our fantastic visit with a lovely ride on a donkey.
