Farm animals visit Hayes school

Posted by Adrian Seal on Jul 17, 08 11:50 AM in Schools/colleges

CHILDREN enjoyed stroking goats and holding chickens as farm animals visited Willow Special School in Stipularis Drive in Hayes which supports pupils with emotional and social difficulties.

Sally Wyeth, school administrator, said: "The children got to see lots of animals including sheep, donkeys and geese and it was a great opportunity for them because it would be hard for us to organise a day out to the farm.

"It was a very calming experience for the children as well because they got to touch and hold the animals which is something children don't get the chance to do even if they do get to visit a farm.

"They were also very interested in learning about the animals and finding out what they eat.

The animals came from a mobile farm called Millers Ark which is based in Hampshire.
