Sedgeberrow playgroup learnt about tree growth rings and charcoal made from burnt wood. 

The children from Sedgeberrow Playgroup had their first summer visit to the farm. In the sunshine, the children were gently introduced to the farm…..

The children saw the calves sucking from the milking machine, sat in a tractor, found blossom on the fruit trees, watched a lady pruning the plum trees, had a tractor and trailer ride, looked for bluebells in the little wood, sat in a den, investigated if rapeseed oil plants were taller than them, climbed a stile and then had lunch! 

After lunch, the children went into the mud kitchen and giggled as their clothes and hands started to look a little bit muddy….. 

The sun shone for Twyning Village Playgroup! We had such a lovely time seeing the farm animals and exploring the play wood. 

The visitor room had a touch of Christmas about it, as a group visited to experience Christmas on the farm and take home their Christmas crafts. 

 

The wonderful children and staff from Badsey First Holiday Club came to the farm today and had the most glorious Autumn weather. An improvement on their very wet summer holiday visit! 

After the health and safety talk I split the group into teams. Each team was given a bucket and asked to fill it with items from nature during our farm walk. They took the instruction literally and the buckets were overflowing, infact half way through the walk we left them on the side of a field to be picked up later, as they were too heavy. 

We went into the orchard to pick up fallen cooking apples and acorns. Whilst looking at the cows water trough an apple was ‘accidentally’ dropped into the water. The children were quick to realise that throwing apples into water is good fun, as they quickly float back to the surface. 

At the end of the farm walk we went into the play wood and used the items in the bucket to create an Autumnal tree. Then after lunch the children used the collected cooking apples and acorns plus some conkers to make Halloween spiders. As the sun was shining still we headed out into the play wood for a long play with lots of mud.
