After visiting the animals and playing on the hay bales, we took a ride out to the pumpkin patch.  Then we got to pick out our own pumpkin to take home, but which one should we choose? Finally, we picked the perfect one and it was back to the bus. [metaslider id=4072]

We had a wonderful trip!  Thank you to all the parent volunteers that came with us. We could not have had this experience without your support.

Ask me if a saw something that surprised me.

The children were delighted with the animals – horses, goats, lambs, donkeys, baby pigs, baby bunnies to name just a few.  They loved touching them, hearing their noises and experiencing all the different smells.  One of the highlights was holding the baby bunnies. [metaslider id=3968]

Ask me which animal I liked the best.

We had a magical day at the Aldor Acres Pumpkin Patch!  The weather was perfect – sunny and warm – a beautiful autumn day.   Aldor Acres is a family-run farm that is celebrating its thirty year anniversary.  

The purpose of the visit was to enhance our studies within science.  This field trip encouraged the children to make observations about plant and animal life cycles, and experience first-hand the structural features or behaviours that allow plants and animals to survive in the environment.[metaslider id=3967]

Ask me about what I learned about living on a farm.
