Year One at Stockley Farm Park
24th September 2013
Wow! We’ve arrived at Stockley Farm Park.
I wonder which animals we are
going to see first!
Breakfast time, kids!
We learned all about horses and ponies.
Did you know?
A pony measures
less than 14 hands high.
Wow! A horse shoe
from a shire horse.
A horse tooth?!!
What does a horse need?
Sawdust bedRubber mat
Water and hay
This is a horse hoof clipping. It is just the same as cutting our nails!
A person who looks after hooves is called a Farrier.
Really?!!
We all had a turn grooming Duncan the pony.
We enjoyed the bumpy tractor ride!
We learned about the farm crops. This one is oats.
When the top is chopped off by the combine harvester
it leaves straw.
These cows are too young to be milked yet.
Stockley Farm has over 350 cows!
We went on a woodland walk and found: blackberries, acorns, mushrooms, spiders,
squirrels, butterflies, and an owl box.
Oak bark is
rough.
Beech bark is
smooth.
A badger set!
In the middle of the day, we had our lunch and
a play on the playground.
We felt the wool and walked the hand-reared sheep.
Feeding time for the pigs!
We fed the goats from our hands and saw the highland cow.
We saw and stroked the farm pets: the rabbit, the cat and
the guinea pig.
Thank you Stockley Farm Park
for a great day!
