Class 1:

Many children and parents attended our extra-curricular group today! It was a great opportunity for them all to learn on the farm together in the afternoon sunshine.Everybody had lots of fun making British-style Flapjacks using oats, butter, jam and chocolate.

This activity helped to contribute to the young children's understanding of night and day time and where the moon, sun and stars go!
