More photos from the farm






Day Four with photos

We have spent the morning at Ruth's farm.  Ruth has a mixed farm on the Yorkshire Wolds.  At the moment, she is growing barley and rape seed.  She also has English Long Horn cows which produce high quality steaks for the restaurant industry.
The breed of cow are very well behaved and the children will allowed to get up close and personal to the herd.  Ruth is a very straight talking Yorkshire woman who has a wealth of knowledge about animal husbandry.  After this morning, so do the children.
Ruth's bull has become something of a local celebrity after appearing in the latest Dad's Army movie.

The afternoon was spent around the fire pit.  The children collected fire wood and used flint to light a piece of cotton wool.  The cotton wool was then used by the Cranedale staff to light the fire pit.  The children would have basically been happy to spend the entire afternoon burning cotton wool but there was a practical reason for the fire lighting.  A lesson about the "Carbon Cycle" and the importance of sustainability followed.  The children then made their own charcoal which was later used in an art session in the classroom.
