Year 6 enjoyed a wonderful 3 days at Home Farm in the village of Beaulieu where they experienced many fascinating aspects of life on the farm. They also explored the village of Beaulieu and the world famous Beaulieu Motor Museum.
Valentino summed up the experience: "I had fun learning about all the different types of animals - even the pigs! My favourite animals in the farm were the rabbits as they were so cute and fluffy and I liked cuddling them."
First the journey
Nizar: "The bus-was very nice. We got see lots of cool things."
The favourite shed - where the rabbits lived.
Timur: "The Rabbits were so fluffy to cuddle."
Leyton: "The rabbits were really cute and I love how they had over 20 of them."
Sophie: "The Rabbits were so cute, and they were very gentle. They were very fluffy."
Then there was the herb garden.
Dylan: "The herb garden filled my nose with wonderous smells and aromas. I loved the mint ( as always ) and found out some interesting facts about herbs."
Jonathan: "There was a range of herbs and some were good to smell."
Feeding the goats and sheep.
Sophia: "I loved how we got to feed the sheep and get to go up close to them and pet them."
Taylah: "There were really cute animals and we got to touch them."
Mucking out the pigs...
Joshua: "The pigs were gross, but really funny. They were amazing animals to look after."
Valentino: "Pigs are stinky and filthy (their poo at least)! but these pigs were enjoyable, playful and they did not try to harm us."
The village of Beaulieu and the Beaulieu National Motor Museum
Scarlett: "During the village study, we compared Beaulieu with Chiswick. It was really interesting and I loved looking the different shops. The local school was so small!"
A Science experiment... with a raw egg... and a parachute.
Dylan: "As part of the egg drop experiment, we were each [group] given the same materials and challenged to create a protective layer and / or a parachute. I was really nervous when the egg was dropping (I asked everyone on our table to cross our fingers) and thankfully it worked!"
An finally, marshmallows around a fire.
Scarlett: "When Steve (the person we were with while at the farm) was teaching us how to make the fire it was very interesting and I had so much fun roasting marshmallows with friends!"
