Year 1: Visit to Barnards Farm

June 22, 2017
Year 1 spent a fabulous day at Barnards Farm discovering sculptures on a lovely dry, warm day. Over 100 different sculptures around the grounds fascinated the children and led to much discussion. Year 1 enjoyed mooching through the gardens and finding new and exciting objects. They were able to describe them and identify the materials used to make them. After lunch al fresco, both classes took time to watch the frogs in the pond. The unique environment of Barnards Farm covers so many curriculum areas - including literacy, design and technology and science - leading to a very rewarding education trip for our pupils.
