This week our class joined the other Year 3 classes for a camp to Narnu Farm on Hindmarsh Island.

Narnu is a working farm and when you attend camp there you need to help with all of the jobs that usually happen on a farm.

Our classes were split into day groups of 8-9 children and we had sleeping/ night groups – some children slept in cottages and the ret were in the bunkhouse.

Each of our groups:

• fed the animals – calves, chickens, goats, deer, rabbits, guinea pigs, roosters, peacocks, pigs, emus and baby lambs
• milked Maisie the cow
• learned how to ride a horse
• learned how they used to plough the paddocks many years ago by hand ploughing
• learned how to make butter
• watched a blacksmith demonstration
• watched a reptile talk
• went on a vintage truck tour of the farm, plus we fed the horses as we drove around

We had an AMAZING time away – we loved all of the activities we did plus the extra games, free time and sports games that we could play. Our cottages and bunkhouse accommodation were really comfortable and all of the meals were delicious.

We really enjoyed working with all of the different staff on the farm and they taught us a lot about farm life, looking after the environment and how to care for animals.

Here are just ‘some’ of the photos taken on camp.
