Nursery and Reception (EYFS)
Early Years Staff can request in advance of the visit any particular areas they would like to cover. There are opportunities throughout the visit for children to contribute and to ask questions. We offer an introduction to:-
The animals on the farm:
- Names of animals and their young
- Physical features
- What they need to thrive
- What we get from them
*
Looking at and talking about plants:
- Identifying and naming
- What they need to grow
- What we get from certain plants (e.g. flour from wheat)
*

Seasonal changes
Autumn: animals grow winter coats, come and pick pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, fruit and nuts are harvested, trees shed their leaves – or don’t!
Winter/Spring: planting seeds, early flowering bulbs, pond dipping and frog spawn.
