A day in the life of a farmer - by Daniel 

Today wasn't a normal day for me at school. My Auntie Sharon brought in three baby lambs, Rosie who is four weeks old, Daffodil who is 5 weeks old and Tulip who is only 3 weeks old. We took them for a play outside reception class. the children were very quiet and the lambs were happy. 

I showed the children how to feed the lambs with a bottle and everyone had a go. 

The lambs then had another run around and followed me. One of the lambs spotted the gate and made a run for it and the rest of the lambs followed and tried to escape. 

Auntie Sharon and I managed to stop them!

I helped Auntie Sharon put the lambs in the van and she took them home. 

After all the excitement it was back to normal lessons for me. 

After school, I will be going to Auntie Sharons house to feed the lambs. they have 4 bottles of milk a day and they eat lamb cake - it's not like the cake we eat though! 

After that I will go home and chill, because it's a hard life being a farmer. 

Be sure to look on the school gallery to see more pictures of the children meeting and feeding the lambs. 

We are so lucky at Colerne Church of England Primary School. Recently, Foundation Stage got a coach to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm where we were learnt some interesting facts about a huge range of animals. We were even able to hold and touch some in our ‘Animal Meet and Greet’ workshop. Did you know you should stroke a python with the back of your hand? Most of us were brave enough to have a go, they don’t feel like you’d expect! We also held an African Land Snail. We also met lots of other amazing animals, like the rhino would came from across the field to have a look at us and the lions who were basking in the sunshine.

The Ofsted report is now online from our latest section 8 inspection. You can now view the report in the "letters" section on this website. 

Yesterday, eight magnificent children (Jacob, Parker, Isaac, Oliver, Joshua, Lilly, Sophia and Austin). Smashed an afternoon of tennis excitement and played superbly! Team 1 won the tournament!
