Dyan Mill Farm Caledon

On Friday 27^th September the Junior Room travelled to Dyan Mill Farm. We

had our lunch break before our tour began. It was very interesting as there were

so many animals to see. 

 We got to hold baby rabbits, snakes, lizards, bearded dragons and chinchillas.

 We saw wallabies, alpacas and chickens.

There was a stick insect which was too delicate to touch. 

We got to feed goats, deer and calves, which were fed with large milk bottles.

There was a pig that would do tricks and we fed it grapes. 

There were colourful parrots that climbed around their cage.                         

We watched the tortoises and meercats. 

As a treat before we went back to school we played in a ball pit in a trailer

and played in the park.

We had a great day out.
