Form 3 on the Farm

Form 3 rounded off exam week with a wonderful trip to the Throup’s farm in Nun Monkton.  They started the day, in glorious sunshine, looking at the gorgeous calves, exploring the acres of grazing land and investigating the milking parlour.  The children then went across the road to the vineyard where they looked at the vines growing at different stages and learned all about how they grew and the best conditions for the plants.  After a quick break the children learned how to make butter from cream and were rewarded with enjoying the finished product smothered on some homemade scones.  A fantastic morning was had by all and thank-you very much to James and Sophie Throup for organising the morning.
