Today in the Art Room we enjoyed making self portraits using all natural materials that we collected ourselves from around the farm! The children were given cardboard containers by Miss Glennon before she led us on a hunt to find natural resources.
We created our portraits on a huge piece of black paper that we have brought with us back to school in order to show our friends!
We all mucked in to paint the farm guides old car orange!
We met a farmer who told us an interesting story about a chicken named Big George and his grandfather Massive George! Then we met Big George’s newborn baby son… The children were given the opportunity to name him and went with Tiny George which he will now be forever known as!
Some of the children who were brave enough enjoyed having a photo with the chick they had just named!
Later on we set off to feed the animals their breakfast!
This morning after the park the we were led to the farms walk in abiray! The children followed instructions beautifully as we ventured in to the Unknown! Everyone loved seeing the birds fly past our heads!
This morning we woke to the sound of Adventure Farms own rooster “Big George”. The children selected what they would like to have for breakfast before going back upstairs to get dressed for the day ahead.
Once again we were fortunate to receive some lovely warm sunshine! First on today’s agenda… the park!
The children after creating their own personalised mugs and coasters enjoyed spending some time in the farms Sensory Suite (where it was too dark to take photographs).
Once everyone had spent some time in both the Art Room and the Sensory Suite our guides led us down the farm path towards the Music Room.
The children had a amazing music session with a volunteer named Laura! We shook macaraccas, clicked castanets, twirled our ribbons and moved our bodies to the beat!
Our first day at the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust has been a total success! We went to meet all the animals that we will be feeding tomorrow morning. Then we spent the rest of the day exploring and spending time in each activity room that the farm offers such as the Art Room, Music Room and even the Sensory Suite!
More photos to follow tomorrow.
We’ve had no issues at all at bedtime and everyone is having a great time!
