Dear
Langley family and friends,
What
an exciting week we have had furthering our investigations into our unit of
inquiry, Paddock to Plate. We have been exploring where milk, eggs and a range
of different vegetables come from and how they reach our plates. We have been
watching videos about cows and milking and sharing a range of fiction and
nonfiction books about farming. Miss Kerry even helped us make potato pancakes
with fresh herbs from our vegetable patch.
Friday
was a highlight for the week with our visit from Old Macdonald’s Farm. Even in
the rain, farmer Paul and his new puppy Charlie brought in a range of animals
for us to have a closer look at. We prepared for the wet weather with our rain
jackets and gumboots and set off on our adventure. We were excited to discover
geese, chickens, guinea pigs, goats and lambs! We were able to look at them and
pat them and even feed them some special food that Paul had brought from the
farm. A big thank you goes to the Noble family for letting us use their backyard
for our farm visit.
Best
wishes,
Jess,
Kerry, Nicole and Emily
