Futures Farm

Seahorses thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Futures Farm. The children fed the chickens and collected eggs as well as holding the chickens and balancing them on their heads and arms. They groomed the shetland ponies and each had a turn at walking them then fed the pigs and discovered that if you stroke a pig it makes their tails go straight. They also looked at the sheep and felt their wool, which was slightly oil; then experimented with twisting the wool to make it stronger. The children all enjoyed watching Socks the dog round up the sheep in the field.
