During term 2 we went on a trip to Ambury Farm... It was such a fun day!
We learnt how to make twine, card wool, make felt and learnt lots about different fibres.
Waiting to walk out to the bus... We are all very excited!
We had a fibre talk and then we did an activity where we had to match fibres to the pictures of where they came from. Some were very tricky!
We hunted in the paddock for the sheep that had just been shawn... (we did find him although he is not in this picture!)
We had so much fun walking around the farm getting to pat the animals. They were friendly (most of them!) and if they didn't want to be touched and they walked away then that was ok!
Making felt was lots of fun - there were lots of steps to do but we all managed and we all ended up with our very own piece of felt!
We looked at different fibres through maginyfing glasses, it was very interesting to look at fibres that closely.
We worked with a buddy to turn some carded wool into a piece of twine... It was very tricky to do but some people were able to make their twine work!
A very fun day indeed... We highly recommend going to Ambury Farm yourself!
