Reception's Wonderful Day at Bocketts Farm!
What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of a brilliant year in Reception! Yesterday, our Reception children enjoyed a truly memorable trip to Bocketts Farm, packed with fun, laughter and hands-on experiences that brought their learning to life.
The excitement began as soon as we left school at 9:15am and boarded the coach. For many, it was their very first school trip — and the sense of adventure was clear from the very start!
On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our friendly team leaders, who guided each group through a variety of exciting farm activities. During the morning, the children had the opportunity to visit and gently handle some of the small animals, enjoy a tractor ride around the fields, and meet Bessie the horse. One of the highlights was feeding the goats and cows, which sparked lots of giggles and wide-eyed wonder!
After a well-earned lunch, the whole year group gathered for one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the day — the pig race! With colourful flags waving and enthusiastic cheers from all sides, it was Snoop Hogg who crossed the finish line first, to much excitement and celebration.
To end the trip, the children had time to explore the outdoor play area and bounce on the giant trampoline, which was a brilliant way to round off the day. By 2:15pm, we were back on the coach, tired but beaming from a day full of joy and discovery.
We are incredibly proud of how well the children behaved throughout the trip. Their manners, listening skills, and ability to follow instructions were truly admirable, and every adult who accompanied them felt proud to be part of the Aragon community.
Well done, Reception — you really are superstars! π
