I volunteered to chaperone Noah’s class on a field trip last week. Two bus-loads of Year 2 kids, dressed up in Victorian clothes, went to Manor Farm which has a reenactment of a Victorian era farm. We first went to a Victorian class room where the kids learned to be seen and not heard; wrote on slates with chalk; and played with old-fashioned toys on the playground. Guess who wound up with the dunce cap on?
The next stop was the dairy barn where we saw a cow being milked; a 12-hour old lamb; and a bunch of chickens. Then on to Meet the Animals where everyone got to hold a baby rabbit (which we learned is called a kitten), a baby duck and a baby chicken. The last stop was the Farm House where we got to wash dirty towels on a scrub board as well as a tour of the house.
It was a fun day out and I was really impressed with how well these kids behaved. I was expecting mayhem, but these kids at St. Francis School are a really good bunch.
