Hello to our friends in the Gambia! We were very excited to read about your trip to the crocodile farm. We thought you might like to read about when our youngest children walked to our local farm.

We are learning about where our food comes from and about life cycles of animals so we went to the farm to find out some more …..

There are all sorts of animals on the

farm-

cows, sheep, pigs,ducks, chickens,

goatsand even pets

like guinea pigs andhorses.

Here we are stroking a chicken.

She had lovely soft feathers!

And here we are getting a pig kiss from the pigs in

the pig palace!

We even learned how to milk a cow!

Ooh! Now

I knowwhere milk

comes from!

We found out where our meat

comes from.

We looked at all the eggs that

the chickens had laid.

We could stroke all the animals – they are very tame!

The horse is called Frankie and he’s really small.We made sure we all

washed our hands before we had our

lunch.

When we came back to school we painted

pictures of the animals we had seen on the

farm.Can you tell which

animals we painted?

We wrote about our trip too. It was such fun at

the farm!

We loved your crocodile joke so here is a joke for you:

What goes “oom”?A cow walking backwards!

We look forward to hearing from you again soon.In the meantime

Goodbye!From your friends at Ecclesall Infant School
