Our Junior Room School Tour this year was in the gorgeas Blackwater Open Farm in Wexford. The children were very lucky to have gotten such a beautiful day to head off on their adventure.
When everyone arrived to Blackwater Open Farm, we were given our very own Tour guide called Liam who brought us to visit all the beautiful animals. Liam gave us all a brief history about the background of each animal and what they like and dislike. The children really enjoyed feeding the animals and were very lucky that they got to spend some time petting each of them.
Afterwards, the boys and girls got to sit down and handle little bunnies and hamsters which they loved doing.
We had some were very brave children on the day who let a bird perch on their heads!
The children got to see a visual display which showed the step by step process to hatching chicks and which everyone found super interesting!
They also got to meet Jessie, the milking cow and they all got to have turns milking the cow.
Lunch was yummy on the day and was enjoyed in the glorious sunshine with the children gettting to enjoy their chocolate treat afterwards.
After lunch there was lots of adventure and the children got to play on the indoor tractor track, Wendy house, Pedal go-karting, climbing frames, zip-line and playground and plenty of tired little children afterwards!!
They all had a fantastic day and were so well behaved. Overall a brilliant way to end the school year.
Special mention to Cheryl who went along on the day to help Ms Nuzum out. Thank you.
