Cockadoodledoo! As the cow screams in the farm after getting off the bus. As soon as we get off the bus we all sit in our groups after the long drive, then we go to do our first activity. 

Now after checking if we are all here, we follow our teacher to the first activity, once we arrive we start smelling a pungent smell, and it wasn’t nice. When we went inside we saw 4 people and 2 lambs on the sort of stage, 2 of the people were sherring he sheep and the other was cleaning the floor and area so the sheeps wool wouldn’t be in the way, lastly the 4th person was bringing out the sheep when they were done shedding them.

 

After the last activity we were going to move onto another activity, now this one was when we were all talking about all the types of wool and what they are made from. Later on we went on a walk and saw chickens, chicks pigs, piglets, cows, turkeys and a peacock. At first we went to go see the lambs and we could see that they were shedded for the summer, because if they weren’t then they would get dehydrated and too hot. 

After having a little admiration at the lambs we decided to go look at the chickens, we only saw two after they ran away by sliding through the fence. So we decided to move on to another area and that’s when we saw a pathway to two areas, one side had cows and the other had pigs and piglets. We patted the cows and left the pigs in peace but still admired them and the piglets, then we saw a helper giving the cows milk.

Then we went to look at the turkey and we saw more chickens! But we saw something behind us, it was a peacock! Everyone was so surprised and after that it jumped off the tree and went on the ground, then the best thing could’ve happened, It fanned out their feathers! Now everyone was even more surprised at the peacock!

Afterwards we went back to the same place where we learnt about all the types of wool and animals but this time we were with another group and we had to name the animals for each fur/wool. After that it was time to eat, 25 minutes later around 12:50 and we went to the same place as the last activity but to do something different, instead we made a type of string out of fin wool! Then we were going to move onto our next activity. This is called felt, it’s when we grab 3 pieces of wool, wet it, shape it and pat it & rub it, then we wash it off and squeeze it until most of the water gets out.

 

Overall we have a special thanks to Jennie and Richard for setting up everything and for making us have a great day at Ambury Regional park! But I have a question, if you had to choose to go to a park for a walk, picnic, or to look at all the animals would you go to Ambury Park.
