A Real Farm Experience…

K2.3 visited two farms within walking distance from school. Although some children complained about the walk they enjoyed it. They were overwhelmed with this experience. They were able to hold, pet, feed and bottle feed the animals and sow some basil seeds.

The students really enjoyed this experience.

Below is a short video clip for you to enjoy.
