For Parents:

An excursion to Hay Dairires has provided the children an opportunity to get closer to nature. They were extremely excited before reaching the farm and many asked if they were really going to see real goats. Of course!

Upon reaching the farm. the children were brought to see a live demo on milking the goats. The children saw how the workers used the machinery to milk the goats. As the demo was going on, Joe (our guide) provided the children with more information about goats. For example, a male goat is called a 'buck', a female goat is called a 'doe' and a baby goat is called a 'kid'. Surprisingly, the children rememebered most of the information easily and they discussed what they have learnt during the bus journey back to school.

The highlight of this farm tour is that children get to feed the goats with hay. They were brought to the barn where all the goats were kept and they feed the animals. They had such an enjoyable time that they requested for more hay so that they could feed the goats for a longer time. I am sure the experience helps to promote children's love for animals. Cheers!

After taking a short break, the children went back to school happily with a bottle of goat's milk, a souvenir from the farm, more knowledge and understanding about goats and happy memories from this excursion! Yippie!

Cheers,
Angeline
