Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to all the families who generously<br />
volunteered their time and effort to care for our animals during the summer<br />
holidays. Your support and dedication are truly invaluable to us. It was great to<br />
see so many new families getting involved. During my encounters with<br />
families while they were tending to the animals, I was delighted to see the<br />
confidence and leadership displayed by our children. It is brilliant to see them<br />
take charge and enthusiastically share their knowledge about the animals with<br />
their families. Equally impressive is the sight of many grown-ups stepping out<br />
of their comfort zones to engage in this experience alongside their children.<br />

Lots of fun stuff has been going on at the farm since the start of the summer<br />
holidays. We have some new chickens called ‘Cuckoo Marams’ in the pen<br />
outside Year 4. Our turkeys have grown so big that they now live with our<br />
chickens in the farm field. We had to say goodbye to our Guinea pigs, Freddie<br />
and Wally, but they’ve gone to live with Savannah and her Guinea pigs, who<br />
stayed with us over the summer. We’ll be getting new Guinea pigs later this<br />
term.<br />
Our produce stall got an upgrade to handle rainy days better, and now you can<br />
even pay with a card using the QR code. This is currently a trial period to see if<br />
it works well.<br />
Our animals have been quite adventurous! The chickens found ways to explore<br />
the school, just like in ‘Chicken Run.’ Even our bigger animals, like the pigs and<br />
pony learned how to get through their electric fences to reach the tasty grass<br />
on the other side. The sheep needed some extra care, including me having to<br />
stay on the field overnight with them, but it’s all worth it because they are such<br />
a valuable learning opportunity for our pupils.<br />
We have some exciting events coming up on the farm, like sheep and pig<br />
breeding. Plus, we have some new Year 6 Head Farmers: Hannah and Imogen<br />
and Anna and Sofija as Deputy Head Farmers. They’ve been busy making sure<br />
each class has someone to take care of their animals and teaching other<br />
students how to help.<br />
