After this activity we were all hungry so we went for our lunch.  When we had finished we did a workshop about migration. We looked at a big map to see how far swallows travel; we also played some games that were based on the behaviour of swallows.  First we played ‘catch the popcorn in you mouth’ and it was very windy! Then the instructor made paper swallows and we had to try to get them safely across the ocean. Then we played a hoop game which showed us all how swallows have a difficult time migrating.  We learned a lot of very interesting facts, such as how they travel 6,000 miles twice a year in search of food.

After the games, we all made our way down to the farm to see some animals.  There were rabbits which were really cute and we also saw some chickens, cows, bulls and pigs. Then we went back to the workshop room and were given sheets to fill in to say what we had enjoyed and learned about the day.  Most of us enjoyed den building the best as it was really fun and we all helped each other by working as a team.
