facts

Ambury farm is a farm (no kidding) located in New Zealand at Māngere Bridge Auckland. It’s known for its beautiful nature and for being a regional park. There is an extensive history of Māori settlement in the Māngere Mountain area, and there are 95 archaeological sites (a vault filled with historical and cultural artefacts with valuable information) around the park. During the European settlement the park was used as a sewage treatment. By the early 2000s, the park had become a popular school excursion, with 3-4 schools booked per week visiting the working farm.

The morning of the trip

I woke up and didn’t want to get up because I hate getting up in the morning. Luckily for me my school starts at 8:50 and I live 20-25 minutes away (that was sarcasm if you don’t understand it but anyways). I got up at 7:40 because I don’t take that long to get ready for school. On the car ride to school my mum was going on and on about how her “little girl” doesn’t want her to come to her trip. I can’t believe I’m mentioning this.

8:40

I arrived at school and put my bag in the classroom and then I walked back down to see my friends. The bell rang and we went inside and did the roll. They talked about our manners and other stuff like that. We finally were able to get on the bus, it was a twisty bus and I got to sit in the twisty seat. It wasn’t that fun though. We got to the farm at 9:50 and when I got out of the bus a big breeze came to me, it smelt like poo and I’m not saying that’s bad because I know it’s a farm but still.

Favourite part (1:00)

I’m just going to say my favourite activity because if i go through all of them it will be too long. We did a big walk around the farm and I met some animals. The first stop we saw cows. There was this very friendly cow that I named peach and there was also a very lazy cow that my friend named Ed Sheeran (he was ginger). We went over to the sheep but they were annoying and they were being lazy. People saw the horses so we started running to them. They were annoying as well, they weren’t coming to us. We found the chickens and we went inside the chicken coop. I loved the chickens but then I saw the turkey, I got so scared and tried running away. We walked around and there

Was nothing new but then we saw an escaped pig so we backed away because we didn’t want her to attack us. It got boring because there were no new animals until I saw a lamb. It was so sweet.
