Farmyard on Wheels

Farmer Michael and his menagerie of farm animals from Farmyard on Wheels visited the
kindy groups. Michael bought in a cattle dog, rooster, hen, duck, goose, rabbit, sheep, goat and a
miniature horse. He explained each animal's role on the farm and described some features of the
animals, such as ducks have webbed feet for swimming. The children were able to hold a chicken if
they wished and feed lambs and kids bottles of milk. After the demonstration the animals were let
loose in the Kindy playground and the children were able to pat the animals at leisure.
The incursion was informative and very well run. Many of our children have not had the opportunity
to see farm animals before, so it created lovely discussions afterwards.
Thank you to the P&C for funding this incursion and supporting our learning program.
