PRE-SCHOOL VISIT CAIRNIE FRUIT FARM

23 OCTOBER 2009
 

The children had a wonderful day on their project-related outing to Cairnie Fruit Farm. The damp, chilly weather did not inhibit their enthusiasm, interest or participation in play activities. They were able to observe the poly-tunnels where the various fruits grow and the big, bright orange pumpkins ready for Halloween-lantern making. The children were able to explore the maze of maize – but teachers could not lose them!! The boys and girls were able to practise their driving skills on a variety of tractors, diggers, tricycles and go-karts. Rowan, our gap year student friend, could not drive fast enough to keep his little passengers satisfied! There was so much to see and do that the children could not decide on their favourite activity – but the coach journey to Cairnie and snack provision were high on the list!!!
