We had a very special visitor in our centre this week. To support our growing understating of farms and food production, Malcolm the 6 day old lamb has spent a week in our centre. He has spent a day each in Edgerley, Chapple and Cooper and will spend a day each with Mead and Langley next week. The children have cared for him lovingly. Edgerley children were very strict with visitors to their room, ensuring everyone used the quietest of quiet voices.
“We won’t eat him, ‘cause he just got borned” said William
The Chapple children enjoyed sharing the garden with him and could hardly control their enthusiasm as Malcolm wandered into the garden beds where the children were not allowed to go! They waited excitedly on the garden edges for him to wander back onto the path so they could pat him.
The Cooper children sang to Malcolm to help him go to sleep and showed him their portfolios. On the playground Dougal and Jack busied themselves with some cardboard clippers, practicing their shearing on a moving target!
A special thanks must go to Mrs Ali Blake and her husband and mother who’s sheep shuffling and endless bottles of baby milk have made Malcolm’s visit possible..JPG)
