Year 3 were lucky enough to go on a second school trip, as part of our new project ‘Mortimer vs. Eyam’. We were fortunate to be given the opportunity to meet Farmer Jim and Farmer Peter of Butlers Lands Farm, and have a tour of some of the land and farm equipment. We learnt lots of fascinating facts about crops, wildlife and farming machinery. Thank you so much to Butlers Lands Farm for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to enhance our learning.

Quotes from the children:

Emily “I loved how Farmer Jim explained to us how to make a seed happy in the soil and how the tractors were controlled by satellites in space!”

Jacob “it was super-duper fun on the farm!”

Ruby “the farm was amazing!”

Josh “the facts Farmer Jim told us were so interesting!” 

Niamh “the tractors were amazing!”

Oscar “that red satellite powered tractor in the farm yard was unbelievable!”
