#### Smithills Farm

##### Reception were very excited as they set off on the caoch to the farm. We talked about the cars we saw and even played I-Spy.

##### When we go to the farm we had to listen to the safety instructions and then we went to feed the animals. We overcame our fears and helped to feed the animals.

##### We then went to pets corner and stroked some of the animals. Reception loved all the different animals, although some of the staff didn't! We got to hold the baby chicks and we made sure we were very gentle.

##### After our lunch we had a very bumpy tractor ride around the farm, followed by a donkey ride before we headed home.

##### We learnt a lot at the farm. We understood the different jobs of the farmer and how to keep safe. We also leant about the different animals and what they eat. A big thanks to Smithills Farm for making our trip fantastic!
