All the boys and girls had so much fun at the farm today. A massive thank you to Annie and Vinnie for a great, educational and enjoyable day.
Butterlope Farm is mainly a hill sheep farm with a variety of breeds but they also have calves, laying hens and sheep dogs. A kitchen garden and large polytunnel allows a large variety of vegetables to be grown for the family and farm helpers. The boys and girls enjoyed eating some of the grapes!
Check out all our amazing photos!
Today we have a visit from M&M productions, who put on a wonderful performance of Aladdin.
We all had a great time, we sang several songs and even had a little dance.
Thank you once again to all the performers, we had a blast.
All the boys and girls are really enjoying our current topic all about farming. Mrs McClelland even finds herself learning interesting information from some of the young farmers in Y5/6!
One of our Y6’s kindly brought in some food that they feed their ewes and rams on her Granda’s farm. Alesha was able to confidently talk to the whole class explaining the different types of food and how often they are fed. She also was able to tell us how different types of food might affect the ewes milk supply.
Another pupil in Y5 brought in some photos of his dads farming machinery and was able to tell us how a seed drill sows barley. Adam loved showing us all the photos, especially his dad and the tractor photos. Proud son!
Well done!

Thank you so much to Ballinascreen Credit Union who gave our credit union savers a pencil case today. All our year 1 pupils were also gifted a piggy bank to help them begin their journey to saving money. There is still time to open a credit union account and receive a £10 voucher. Helen calls to school each Wednesday morning to collect the children’s savings.
