June Newsletter

A trip to Meanwood Farm Springtime offers so many learning opportunities for small children, in particular learning about farm animals and their young. The Cygnets and Swans children had the opportunity to go to Meanwood Farm where they met lots of different animals including fluffy rabbits, guinea pigs, alpacas, goats, chickens and sheep. We sang lots of different nursery rhymes starting with the ‘Wheels on the Bus’ as we made our way to the farm on the big coach. We also sang ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’ and ‘Old Macdonald had a Farm’. The children enjoyed petting the rabbits and stroking the sheep and imitating the sheep noises. We saw different coloured sheep and noticed that they had different coloured fur like we do skin, they were white, black and brown, we also saw some baby lambs. We then walked through the allotments and discovered lots of coloured flowers. There were lots of dandelions, we blew them and made wishes. We also found ladybirds and ants, some of the children let the ladybirds crawl on their hands. We had a lovely picnic lunch eating sandwiches and fruit sat at the picnic benches before heading back to nursery.
