A School Trip to the Farm!

To find out more about food and healthy eating, today we went on a school trip to a farm.

Five children were chosen from each class to come on the trip. They were chosen because they have behaved very well this term. There are school trips at Starfish School every few weeks so everyone will get to go on a trip in the end.


The children were very excited and hurried onto the school mini bus.




Their teacher, Sheylla, helped them to find their seats. It was very full and noisy!


When we arrived at the school a man called Alinson, who works at the farm, showed us around.

First we went to see the plants which grow there. He told us how to plant a seed and to make sure that it grows well.



The children made notes and asked lots of questions.


Then we visited the chicken coop. There were lots of chicks there, we watched them eating corn from the trough.


Pigs:

The pigs are born in these pens and stay with their mothers to feed. The mothers are given nutritious corn to eat so that their piglets are healthy.


We all enjoyed the trip very much!
