We had an amazing experience visiting the Aldor Acres Pumpkin Patch in Langley!  It was a beautiful, sunny day.  For some of the students, it was their very first pumpkin patch experience.  In the classroom, we talked about farms and animals, so this field trip was a great opportunity for them to explore and experience animal life cycles and their local environments.

The children were delighted with the animals. We saw so many – sheep, horses, piglets, chicks, bunnies, goats, llamas, donkeys, chickens, even a newborn puppy, and more!  Some of us were hesitant at first to hold these delicate baby animals, but most of us got the chance to either pet or hold some animals.

After lunch, we all hopped onto a tractor-pulled wagon and headed over to the field to pick our pumpkins to take home!

 

At the end of the school day, we had a sharing circle and each student shared their favorite part of the trip!

Here are a few things that were said:

“I loved the baby bunnies!”

“Riding the wagon was the best!”

“the big, biiiiiiig goats!”

“the pumpkins – so many!”

“jumping on the hay”

“ride the bus”

If you ask your child to tell you what their favorite moment was, feel free to share their answer in the comments!

I would also like to say a big Thank You to our parent volunteers who were able to come and supervise groups of students. Thank you for helping out and sending me your photos.

Also, thanks to Ms. Gourlay for organizing and booking this trip!
