What activities will we be undertaking?

  • The most useful preparation at school is to consider how we should behave on a farm and in the countryside i.e. the essence of the Country Code.
  • How about getting the children to come up with their own ideas for a code of behaviour?
  • After putting on appropriate clothing and footwear our first session will be in the classroom. We will consider how we should behave for the day on a farm and in the countryside with respect for Mr Charles, his family and the animals.
  •  One of our outdoor activities will be to feed the hens and collect the eggs. If you want to save a little time you can choose children for the following special jobs, or we can organise them on the day:
    • 2 children to carry water buckets    2 careful children to carry the egg baskets
    • 2 children to carry the corn buckets and give it out to the rest of the class
    • 2 children to scoop out the mash
    • 2 children to carry the grit (for the chicken’s digestion)
  • All the children will have a chance to feed and touch the hens and sheep during the day and we spend time with the dairy cattle and calves, and any livestock around the farmyard.
  • We will also observe the pigs.
  • Please remember that farms are a potentially dangerous and hazardous working environment. Children must stay with the adults at all times and must not touch any equipment or machinery around the farmyard.
  • The outline of the day remains flexible according to your specific requirements – we can always adapt if the weather alters, or we feel that the children need a change!
