Deer Farm Visit

Today Room 5 and 6 had the wonderful experience of visiting the Coates Family Deer Farm up the Haupiri Valley.  During this visit we learnt so many wonderful facts about deer and the products that come from deer.  The children are going to be sharing their new knowledge with you on their personal blogs over the next few days.

We need to say a massive thank you to Willy and Michelle Coates for organising such an amazing real life learning experience.  To 'Rusty' from Silverfern Farms for travelling all the way over from the East Coast to talk with us and to Mark for sharing his knowledge and for the samples from his business.

Without the ongoing support of our local community, wonderful parents and school management we would not be able to provide our tamariki with such fantastic experience.
