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.

The curriculum competencies within science expect that children be able to ask questions and make predictions, make observations and represent these observations by drawing charts and simple pictograghs.

Our question was, “Will an apple sink or float in water?” Most of us predicted that the apple would sink. The results of our test are recorded on the chart below.

Ask me what my prediction was?
