EYFS Visit to Boydells Farm

EYFS travelled to Boydells Farm on Tuesday for our Fantastic Finish to our topic on farming.   We started the day by learning about dairy cows and milking 'Sweetheart' the cow. We took the milk and fed this to the calves with the help of Farmer Kiley . 

We fed the cows potatoes and stroked them. We then went on a tour of the rest of the farm where we learnt about feeding sheep, goats, ponies and alpacas. Farmer Kiley collected eggs from the chickens and we looked at geese, ducks and even turkeys!

After lunch, we got very hands on with the animals, bottle feeding and holding lambs, holding kittens, kid goats, guinea pigs and rabbits. We also got to hold lots of chicks and meet some of the other chickens, ducks and geese.

We had such an exciting day that some of us even fell asleep on the coach home!
