What a fantastic day we had in Year 6 at Sledmere house for our geography school trip! The sun was shining and it was a perfect setting to learn all about farming, food produce, plants, trees, and nature. A real highlight of the day was the ‘Deer Safari’ which allowed us to travel on a tractor wagon and get up close with hundreds of deer – some which were tiny babies and had only been born minutes before! We fed them and enjoyed watching them come up to the trailer to say hello.

We also saw a sheep being sheared, a first for many of our pupils – and learnt about how wool is such a versatile product that can be made into many various items and clothing.

All children also planted a broad bean in a hand-made plant pot to take home!
