Kindergarten students visit college farm

Kindergarten students from Umina Beach Public School visited Brisbane Water Secondary College's farm on September 5, as part of their Living Things unit of study.

"Kindergarten visited the farm to enhance their learning in the science component of their Living Things unit," said primary school principal Ms Lyn Davis.

"The agriculture students who guided them around the farm were all well informed and had arranged a variety of fun activities including a gumboot throwing competition, honey tasting and a fruit break in the orchard, where our Kindies were able to pick and eat oranges straight from the trees," Ms Davis said.

"Of course, the farm animals were the stars of the day and we were able to handle and learn about sheep, cattle, poultry, bees and pigs.

"Morning drizzles and mud puddles only enhanced the farmyard experience with the sun coming out in time for a picnic lunch," Ms Davis said.
