F is for Farm

WOW - what an amazing day it has been.  Such a great visit to the Dairy Farm in Upper Hutt.  We've had a really great experience today - be sure to ask your child to share their adventures with you.

Thanks so much to the parents who came and helped, we couldn't have managed without your support.

I expect that all the children will sleep well tonight!!

Here are a couple of photo's to start your conversations...

Heading into the Calving Sheds

We touched and patted, watched and observed, and some kids got to feed the 2 week old calves by bottle.

We walked up to the paddock to see the 200 milking cows in their paddocks.

We took a good look at the milking machines to see how they worked.

We were ready for lunch and so grateful that the weather was on our side today.

It was a long bus ride there and back, but that's half the fun..... right!!
