An Spréach: Our Trip to Leahy’s Farm

The boys in An Spréach come to school each day ready to play and work hard. They participate in the Aistear program which is a fun way to explore, learn and experience things to do with particular topics; summer, where we live, going tothedoctoretc

While we have lots of toys, costumes and activities to help with this exploration, there is nothing so wonderful as to experience it first hand.

This was true last month when, having learned and played with the Aistear topic “The Farm”, they actually went to Leahy’s Open Farm. Well, they had the time of their lives. They went for a full tour of the farm and saw cows, sheep, pigs, goats and llamas. They went on a barrel ride around their secretforest and gottopatbabyanimals. Wow!

They eventoucheda snake! We saw the old tractors and farm house and even an old Fire Engine. After lunch we also got to play in the climbing play house and outside intheplayground. What a wonderful day out we had. And the boys behaved so well! We are so proud of them. We are already looking forward to our next trip.
