On a sunny Tuesday, pupils from Clin cycle 2 visited a farm. What did they do ?

-  Searching for animals in the soil

-  Gardening

-  Visiting an orchard

-  Watching animals and touching them

-  Milking a cow

It was a very busy day. But let’s them write...

The munge heap is smelling bad but it’s natural and essential for soil.

Hidetoshi is proud to show you what his team had found

I searched animals in the soil. I walked in the mud. I made a hole and saw one beetle and a white worm. I don’t like these insects. Hidetoshi

Mei used a rake.

In the garden, I took off weeds and made a hole to free insects we had caught before.Alinoé

Max is sowing corn.

I caught a big slug and a worm. Then I sowed corn in the garden and watered it . Maxime

Milking is easy for Hinata.

I liked milking. I was not afraid of the cow. I pressed two teats at the same time which is not easy to do but I had never done this before. Hinata

After a nice snack offered by the lady, she showed us the orchard and talked about plants and herbs.

Can you see what’s different between a buttercup and a greater celandine ?

What were your feelings after that visit ?

Oops...what a big baby !!!

The lady showed us chickens, ducks, rabbits and a turkey. We could touch them. Then she brought different eggs. The biggest one was from a goose. I am very happy because I like to touch furs of rabbits and feathers of chicken. Hidetoshi

Maxime can milk like a farmer.

It was very good to see animals. I like to watch them. Maxime

Mei caught a chicken.

I liked to see the animals because I like animals and I like digging the soil and planting seeds. Mei

What a great playtime in high weeds !!

At playtime, I played hide and seek. It was funny because I was hiding in big plants. Alinoé

But good times come to an end too and children were tired but delighted....

Do you want to see the animals we’ve watched or touched ?
