The weather was gorgeous and the children enjoyed seeing the bear play in the water. They thought it was very funny when a cheeky monkey hitched a ride on the coach wing mirror! There were some extras who joined the picnic. The chickens thought there might be some leftovers for them. Everyone had a great time and the children were all well behaved and a credit to Tithe Farm. Scroll down to see photos of the day. WOBURN TRIP MEAD OPEN FARM On Wednesday Woodpeckers spent the day at Mead Open Farm. It was very exciting as they were the first class to use the school’s shiny new minibus! Another warm sunny day gave the children the chance to enjoying playing on the outdoor play area. They also got to hold and stroke rabbits in the “Bunny hop” petting session. Then the children each picked a sheep which was running in the “Lamb National”. After much cheering and flag waving the race was won by a particularly speedy sheep called “Flying Fleece”. The children also got to enjoy a tractor ride around the farm. A fun day was had by everyone. Scroll down for photos of the day. MEAD OPEN FARM
