  • Year 1 Trip to Barleylands

    Published 16/10/25

    We had a fantastic time on our trip to Barleylands! The children were brilliant ambassadors for the school and learned so much about where our food comes from.

    The morning was all about becoming master pizza makers. We discovered exactly how wheat becomes flour, before getting hands-on. The children loved kneading their own dough and topping their pizzas. Just look at those masterpieces—they looked (and smelled!) absolutely delicious.

    After a much-needed lunch, we went on a very bumpy but exciting tractor ride around the fields! We finished the day walking around the farm, meeting, greeting, and feeding lots of different animals. The goats and sheep were definitely hungry!
