Infant Trip to Farm to see the Lambs.
In March Ewan's parents kindly invited us up to their farm to see the newborn lambs.
|
When we first arrived we sat on straw bales in a shed. |
|
|
|
The children learnt about what we get from the sheep and a smelly cheese was passed round! |
|
We also learnt about what the sheep eat and some haylage was passed round for the children to smell and feel. |
|
|
|
We then split into 2 groups to look round the farm. First we saw the ewes that were still waiting to have their lambs. |
|
Then we saw some lambs that were several days old. |
|
|
|
These lambs had been born just before lunch and were still waiting to be penned up. |
|
This was the favourite lamb. He was just 30 minutes old! |
|
|
|
The children stroked the lambs. |
|
Some lucky children also got to hold the lambs. |
|
|
|
The children were very keen to see the 2 sheep dogs that are on the farm. |
|
After very thoroughly washing their hands the children had a drink and a homemade cake. |
|
|
|
At the end of the afternoon everyone had the chance to stroke their 21 year old shire horse. |
