We had a really wonderful day! Visiting Washingpool Farm allowed the children to experience a working farm in action. Throughout the visit, the children met a variety of animals and learnt about farm machinery. They developed an understanding of the farming seasons and how the animals vary. It would be really interesting to visit the farm again during the spring/summer months to compare. Thank you so much for leading the day and helping the children to have a REAL farm experience!
