On Thursday, 29 October, the Prep Learning Community went to Animal Land Children’s farm in Diggers Rest. This was a part of our learning about farmers, the livestock and crops they farm. While we were there we got to milk a cow and churn the milk into butter. We then got to taste the butter, it was delicious! We had a tractor ride down to the paddocks to feed the goats, sheep and alpacas.
In the animal nursery we cuddled baby rabbits and guinea pigs. One of the best parts of the day was when we got to ride the ponies. At the end of the day we helped with some of the chores on the farm like picking up some of the animal poo with shovels. We had an amazing time and deepened our understanding of how farms work.
