Trip to Hagley

Today I was asked to do parent help on a trip to Hagley with the Kinder children. I must say that when I looked out the window this morning I was a little worried that the trip may be put off as it was pretty yuck looking! After a couple of showers early this morning I am pleased to say that in true Tasmania style the weather picked up and managed to hit us with at least 25 degrees!

The children travelled on a BIG bus to the farm and were greeted by two lovely teachers who took us on our journey. First thing we did was go and see the calves and got to give them a pat. We then had morning tea and split into two groups. Our group walked around and got to feed all the animals and to see where the milking is done and got to see where it is stored. We also got to see where the shearing is done. The children loved the feeding of the animals however there were a few who were a little unsure!!!!

We then had lunch and a great play in the equipment and then we got to go on a tractor ride to see some donkeys, alpaccas, and the cows! After a long drive we met back and gathered our stuff and boarded the bus home. It was a very long day and a few little people fell asleep on the way back ( I must say I would have loved a little rest as well as the sun managed to hit just a bit).
