On Friday 17th June P4/5 went to CAFRE Greenmount campus as part of the ‘Bank of Ireland’s’ Open Farm Weekend. While there they had the opportunity to:
Make their own butter
Experience what it would be like to milk a cow
Visit and identify vegetables growing in the vegetable plot
Visit the milking parlour
Make their own flower arrangements to give to their dads, grandads, uncles etc in the floristry department
See lots of different types of farm machinery
After we left Greenmount we went to Antrim Castle Gardens where we had a picnic and then visited the new garden that was created for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee before walking along the river path to Antrim Loughshore where the children played in the park and fed the ducks.
