Early Years visit to Cockfields Farm

As part of their learning in Understanding the World (one of the Seven Areas of Learning), our Kindergarten and Reception children enjoyed an enriching educational visit to Cockfields Farm.

The day was filled with hands-on experiences that encouraged curiosity, care and confidence. The children met a variety of animals, including birds of prey – some cleverly hidden due to their nocturnal nature. A bumpy tractor ride added to the excitement, with laughter echoing across the fields.

During their visit, the children had the opportunity to feed and look after farm animals such as goats, llamas, Highland cows and sheep. They showed tremendous courage when meeting reptiles, including Rosie the bearded dragon and Derek the corn snake – many even stroked them.

In ‘Cuddle Corner’, the children gently interacted with rabbits and were lucky enough to meet some three-week-old baby bunnies. After a well-earned picnic, they explored the adventure playground, developing their balance, coordination and other gross motor skills as they climbed and played.

Throughout the trip, the children showed kindness and respect, caring for the animals and engaging thoughtfully with other visitors. Their enthusiasm and excellent behaviour made their teachers incredibly proud.

Pupils' experiences are enriched by an extensive range of visits and extra-curricular activities, locally, regionally and internationally.
