Today we went on our first field trip to Kidz Discovery Farm at the P.N.E. It was a lot of fun!
It all started with a tour of a miniature mock farm where the students were able to plant some tomato and carrot seeds.
Next, we all travelled through a grain silo and collected some packages with different grains. From there we moved through a small cow barn and pretended to milk a cow. This was followed by another garden where our carrot and tomato seeds had magically sprouted and full grown tomatoes and carrots had grown.
Then came the apple orchard and chicken coop. We each picked one apple from the tree and chose either a brown or white egg to add to our basket of farm goodies.
Soon we were at the salmon farm, where we were able to try out some fishing and catch a fish or two.
Finally, our favourite, was riding in the miniature tractors around a small track.
When our tour was over, we sorted all the different farm foods we collected in our baskets and learned how the food we eat begins at the farm and makes its way to our local market and grocery stores.
After eating our lunches, we were able to watch the process of milking an adult cow and meet a baby calf.
Speaking of Halloween, here's a cute pumpkin song that I thought some of you might enjoy. Maybe we'll even sing it in class. Just click on the link below to watch and listen to it.
Happy Halloween!
