Nursery Visit The The National Adventure Farm

On Tuesday 25^th April, the nursery children had a fantastic time at The National Adventure Farm. At the farm, the children enjoyed jumping and bouncing on large inflatable pillows and travelling around the farm on a tractor and trailer ride. Whilst on the tractor ride, the children enjoyed looking for the animals in the fields. We were lucky enough to see lots of sheep, lambs, pigs, chickens, horses and even one of Santa’s reindeers! In the afternoon, the children fed the goats and the lambs and then found out where milk comes from.

During our Art week, the nursery children have been learning about Andy Goldsworthy. The children watched a video about Andy and discovered that he only uses natural resources to make his artwork and he likes to make circular patterns. The children then used their own natural resources to make their own Andy Goldsworthy artwork.
