Our Year 7s got the opportunity to visit four Essex farms. In the morning they visited Frame and Chigborough farms where they got the opportunity to learn about wheat farming and all the farm diversification activities.
In the afternoon they visited Wicks Manor Farm and looked at all the different stages of pig production, this was then followed by Tiptree fruit farm where they went on a tractor & trailer ride around the fruit farm.
Pupil quotes:
“The farming trip was so much fun because there were so many new things to learn.”
“My most favourite was Wicks Manor Farm where you got the full experience of what it was like to be in the factory and how all of the machines work.”
“I really enjoyed the farm, especially the urban fitness and the yummy strawberries.”
