We visited Washbrooks Family Farm as part of our topic this term which was called Fun On The Farm. All of our children had the most fantastic day! For some it was their first experience of visiting a farm and they thoroughly enjoyed seeing the animals, learning all about the animals and farm life and travelling on the tractor. The staff were friendly, informative and fun”.
