Have you ever heard a single fact or any evidence about the Ambury Farm? We were lucky that our school has taken us on a beautiful Ambury farm trip.
In the morning we got to school early or else we would miss the bus. After everyone was here we did the roll and got into our groups. Soon after the bus arrived I bet everyone was very excited about the ambury regional farm.We got on the bus quickly and got seated, everyone was hyped up and couldn’t wait to get there ( well some of them).
After about half an hour we finally arrived. I can’t wait to go in. There were two staff there and their name is Richard and Jennie they both have worked for over 20 years at the ambury farm. They told us where the toilet was and introduced everything here. Our teacher told us to have morning tea first then go to do the activities that they have planned for us that day.
The first thing that we did was the sheep sharing. Inside the shed there was a very strong smell, there were 2 men’s sharing and one man taking care of the sheep that had not been shared yet. Jennie gave us a pile of wool for us to sniff and rub it on our skin. The wool is soft like marshmallows and it smells weird.
After we went on a 1 hour walk on our way we saw pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, turkeys, sheep dog, horses and peacock. The peacock was beautiful. Its feathers were just like eyes that are staring at you. If I was an animal I would be scared just imagine you saw hundreds of feathers that look like eyes that are staring at you, for me I will be terrified.
The last activity was the felting where you have to put three layers of wool on top of each other then sink it with hot water, after it’s wet and hot put dishwashing liquid on top of them then keep tapping and scrubbing until 5 minutes have passed. As soon as that has done you will find out that you can’t take the layers out and that’s how you get a piece of felt.
