2019 Farm Trip To Ohaeawai

Term 2, Week 8

Kia Ora Whanau

Well our farm trip day has finally arrived!!  I was really excited, I think as much as the tamariki were.

We had Shikyrah's Nan, Marie, Catherine and Jessie. Without whanau support the trip would have not went ahead.  Thankyou to #schoolkit and DairyNZ for  funding  the school bus. All of the children received a FREE yellow safety vest and a anchor chocolate milk. Delicious!!

All children got into groups . They headed off happily to the bus and we drove to Ohaeawai which is only 10 minutes away.  The bus was filled with excited chatter and happy faces.

We had morning tea then were introduced to the owners of the farm and their workers.

The children went to 4 different areas of the farm.
The milking shed to see cows milked
To Feed the calves
To learn about grass to glass
Pooh pond and Learning why looking after the paddocks and rivers is essential.

All of room 14 and room 16 were highly engaged and asked lots of wondering questions!!
