Year 1 Visit Barnards Farm

June 29, 2018
Our Year 1 pupils spent a sunny day looking at over 100 sculptures of all shapes and sizes at Barnards Farm, West Horndon. Linking with their latest curriculum objectives, this was the perfect location to gain a greater understanding of sculpture, materials, trees and flowers. Our pupils looked at the size and scale of sculptures and discussed the materials that they were made from. They also talked about the sculptor's intention when they were creating the amazing artworks. The farm was preparing for an open day so the children were lucky to see some vintage cars too.

Year 1 had a fantastic time at Barnards Farm: they gained a greater insight into the different materials used to make sculptures and they had the freedom to explore an enormous private garden.


We asked the children what they enjoyed most about their day:

"I loved following the maze into a fairy garden."

"I saw a real aeroplane on a runway and I liked the bull made from car parts."

"I loved spending time watching the frogs in the secret garden."

"I liked jumping on the stepping stones in the secret garden."

"The best bit was seeing the rowers."

"I liked running underneath the aeroplane."
