Reception Visit to Barleylands

July 08, 2013
Reception classes had a great day out at Barleylands farm park and craft village. After travelling by bus to Basildon, the morning was spent finding out about life on the farm and feeding animals. A short tractor ride then took the children to wheat fields where they learnt about the countryside. Another treat followed: lamb racing. The children were captivated by the playful creatures as they competed in the Lamb National; Jenson Mutton just pipped Lady Baa Baa at the post! To round off the visit, pupils spent the rest of the afternoon making and baking a pizza from scratch. The healthy, fresh ingredients smelt wonderful and cooking was accompanied by the sound of rumbling tummies. The children clearly enjoyed the varied activities on this fun-filled trip.
