During the visit, the children had the opportunity to **pet and feed a variety of farm animals**, giving them a close‑up look at life on a working farm. Pupils also learned about the **important role of farmers**, helping them understand where food comes from and how animals are cared for. The visit provided valuable **hands‑on learning**, allowing children to explore, ask questions and build confidence in a real‑world setting. Experiences like this help to bring classroom learning to life and support children’s curiosity and understanding of the world around them. At **St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Coundon**, we are proud to offer enriching opportunities beyond the school gates that support children’s development and create memorable learning experiences.
