Easton College Farm

On Monday 9th November, Owl class and Piglet class visited Easton College Farm. In the morning, we had a tour of the farm and met all of the animals they have there. Our guide told us about how they look after each of the animals and why they keep them on the farm. We got to stroke a week old chick!

After lunch, we enjoyed wet felting, grinding wheat into flour and making oil from the oil seed rape plants.

It was a brilliant day and we didn’t get too wet!

Cattery Visit

On Monday 5th October we went to the cattery in Hevingham. Karen told us all about how they look after cats while people go on holiday. Then we met some of the cats.

Santo the Guide Dog

On Friday 2nd October we had a very special visitor! His name was Santo and he’s a guide dog. His owner, Robert, told us all about how Santo helps him and why he needs Santo. It was very interesting and we learnt lots!

Lifeguards

We had a visit from two local lifeguards.  They told us the meaning of each flag which we later practised outside.  We also looked at the clothing they wore for different situations.

Red and yellow = Safe to swim between these two flags as lifeguards are watching.

Black and white = Dangerous waters, no swimming.

Sock flag = No inflatables as you can be carried away by the tide.
