Early Learning Centre: Fun at Ruby’s Farm!

The Preschool class visited Shona and Troy Haby’s farm during the last week of Term 1. The children were lucky enough to learn all about looking after the lambs and horses. Everyone had a turn feeding the lambs their bottles of milk. We were running a bit late so they were VERY hungry. Ruby showed us how to brush Rosie the horse.  Everyone had a turn brushing and we also fed her apples. Ruby even showed us how she gets the muck out of Rosie’s hooves. We then walked to the enormous implement shed and the children took turns to climb up the big ladder and sit in the header.  Back at the house, we loved exploring the garden and finding so many caterpillars about to become monarch butterflies! Another highlight was definitely playing in Ruby’s awesome playground. What a great morning! When we got back to the ELC we wrote down all the things we did and learnt and the next day we painted pictures. Thankyou so much Shona, Troy and Ruby for having us at your farm.
