Grants Dairy Farm

Long bus drive from school….

Kids laughing…

Teachers chatting...

Yippeee…!!!

We are on our way to Grants Dairy Farm!

We arrived at Grants Dairy which was established in 1994, a unique factory with state of the art facilities.

 “Wow, oh mam look!! MAM, MAM!” were the phrases emanating from most of our excited learners.

 Aunty Delene and her team at Grants Dairy greeted us warmly. We were divided into groups and everyone enjoyed touching, feeding and interacting with the farm animals. There were friendly animals like goats, chicken, ducks, geese, donkey, ponies and turkeys.

Children were given an informative lesson on farm milk and cheese production. The children were involved in the butter making processes by having a turn to mix the cream for the butter. They were lucky enough to taste yummy yogurt and cheese. (Each child received a fresh 250ml milk to enjoy and some fresh butter to take home.)

We had a lovely lunch, fresh fruit juice and yummy ice-cream.

Grants Dairy Farm is a must for every Foundation phase who is covering the dairy farm in the curriculum. It’s a fun place where they can consolidate what is taught in the classroom to what is happening at a dairy farm. The Grade 2's really had a fun time learning through real experience.

The facial expressions of every child will be a priceless memory that I will treasure forever.

We said our farewells to Delene and her team and we hope to see them again.
