Uplands Kindergarten
He paki - its sunny! We rode on the bus to Ambury Farm to meet Ranger Janine and her animal friends. Our first stop was the milking shed. Karen and Jill (the cows), strolled into the milking shed with their udders bulging. The rangers milked them and everyone had an opportunity to pat the cows. On we walked to see rabbits, calves, piglets, pigs, chickens and Clydesdale horses - Connor and Colin. Ranger Janine gave us pellets. We scooped our hands together to feed the chickens and sheep. If we kept very still and quiet, they ate from our hands. We ended the morning feeding the little lambs their bottle of milk.
