The wonderful Year 4 and 5 children from Cropthorne with Charlton school made their second visit to the farm this school year. It was lovely to see how excited they were about being back on the farm. 

We didn’t have a specific topic to cover and so it was decided that a team activity would be a fun way to spend the morning. In groups of three, the children were asked to build a raft for a rubber duck and include a rope to pull the raft through the water. The children did a really good job using natural materials in the wood and didn’t seem to notice the rain pouring down. We walked to the pond to launch the rafts. The pond is very full and lapping at the bottom of the island bridge.

After a run through two fields we went to see the calves which looked very cute sleeping in the straw. The one year old calves were very happy to be fed some silage. 

After lunch the children had a great time in the play wood.
