On the 15th October Nicky Nook visited Greenlands Farm. This was an educational visit which linked to the class topic of Paws, Claws and Whiskers but it also linked to our Science topic (animals including humans).
During the visit the students looked at many different farmyard animals, including cows, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, chickens, llamas and alpacas. The learners discussed what their diets might be and what species they belong to. Some students were able to give reasons as to why they belong to certain species, such as they are mammals because they have fur or give birth to live young and not eggs. Also the students recalled some key vocabulary based on species and the diets of animals.

Not only were the students able to recap key learning from our lessons, they demonstrated enjoyment throughout and shared the environment well with the local community visiting on that day.
