As part of Class 3’s Farming Main Lesson, the pupils revisited Garvald Home Farm on Thursday.
Previously they harvested potatoes, carrots and onions on a biodynamic Root Day. Now it is lambing season. The Class watched three lambs coming into the world, delivered by teacher Mr Brett, and a farm colleague; before many of the children cuddled and stroked the fledgling animals.
The children prepared the ground and seeded the soil with grass & barley (taking turns to use a hand-ploughed to give a flavour of farm work without help).
A day at the farm is not complete without a tractor ride for a bit of fun, under a rainbow!
