๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒพ A fantastic day on the dairy farm with Mr Kellie! ๐Ÿฎ

Our Year 2 children thoroughly enjoyed an informative and hands-on tour of the dairy farm with Mr Kellie on Monday. They had the wonderful opportunity to meet some calves who had only just been born! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฎ

The children learnt all about the milking parlour, what cows eat, and the daily routines involved in running a dairy farm. It was a brilliant opportunity to see first-hand where our milk comes from and gain a greater understanding of farm life.
There was so much curiosity, excitement and engagement throughout the visit, with the children asking questions and discovering lots of new things along the way! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ›

A huge thank you to Mr Kellie for such a memorable and educational experience!
