Year 4 Great Yorkshire Show Trip July 2023
Year 4 visited the Great Yorkshire Show as part of their topic ‘Different Places, Similar Lives’. Part of this topic was to look at agriculture and farming and to help understand the different type of farming in the UK.
The children were able to watch and participate in a range of activities from sheep shearing, sausage making, rural livestock and nature art- the list was endless!
They were fortunate to view many different animals including lamas, chicks, sheep, pigs and horses.
Here is a quote from one of the children:
We saw sheep dogs do really cool stuff. They separated 2 sheep from 5 sheep. We saw people trying to shear sheep as fast as they could. Fun fact someone has a record shearing 827 sheep! Two groups my group and another group got to see cows, bulls, horses and goats. Then we went to see horses jumping.
