Lambing Live
The children from Years 2 and 4 went on a field trip to Holme Village. The focus of the trip was to augment work in their RE topic relating to New Life and kick start this term’s science topic – Animals Including Humans. The children visited a working farm where they met owner and farmer, Sarah Nobles. Sarah introduced the children to many of the tasks around the farm and explained in detail how sheep are reared. One group were lucky enough to see the birth of a lamb – staff and children alike were stood in awe and wonder as they witnessed this new life arriving in the world.
The children were able to hold the lambs, brush the ponies and watch a sheepdog demonstration. After thoroughly washing their hands the children tasted cheese, made from Ewes milk, and tucked into some lamb sausages. After a picnic lunch the children went on a nature walk which focused on understanding the different habitats with the area of Holme. It was a fabulous two days and we’d like to say a big thank you to all of the volunteers who supported the trip – we couldn’t have done it without you.
