Y3 & 4 Countryside Learning Day26 June 2023 (by admin) |
On Thursday 22nd June, Years 3 and 4 went to Badminton Estate for a Countryside Learning Day. We had a fabulous time! We learnt about different crops and foods produced from them, how the forest is managed (a brilliant demonstration from a tree surgeon), how the hounds are cared for and had a talk from Bernard the farrier at the stables. We also learnt that the pond used to be used for laundry and that there used to be a fire engine opposite the laundry cottage! Then we had a tour of the amazing walled kitchen gardens to finish the day off. Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who organised the day and gave us such a wonderful experience.
