The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

We had a great visit to the Laity Pumpkin Farm today!  Students enjoyed the petting zoo part of the trip.

They then enjoyed playing on the wooden farm structures, ‘milking’ the cows, and making farm fresh ‘pizza’.

We then had a tractor ride and saw some goats and the emus.  After washing our hands (from petting the animals) we enjoyed some juice with our snacks in the tent area.  Once we were finished we wandered through the forest exhibits.  Students really enjoyed checking out the different displays.

Students, and their parent helpers, then explored the corn maze – some of them even did it quickly enough to go through twice and still have time to go and ‘rescue’ some fellow students!

Whilst we were awaiting some of our class to get through the maze a few of our boys were playing ‘follow the leader’ with one of the emus!  They had lots of fun doing that.

Students then got to choose their very own pumpkin which they took home this afternoon.  I hope you all enjoy carving them with your child.

All in all, it was a great trip – no rain, lots of wonderful parent volunteers, and interesting things to do.

Thank you to all of our parents who came along to help us out today.
