After a long countdown, the day finally arrived for chestnut class to go to Barleylands. Everyone was very excited and had so much fun.
 

The day began with a slightly excitable coach ride which flew by then the real fun began. First the children listened to a Christmas story about a donkey. Then to their surprise they actually got to stroke a donkey! Following on from that, they went on a very bumpy tractor ride all around the farm then it was time to get creative and make Christmas decorations. After a busy morning they stopped to have lunch before feeding the animals. They were very hungry! Finally the children met Santa and he gave them Christmas gifts. The children then decorated their Santa letters that they wrote in school before posting them. Sadly it was then time to return to school but fun was had by all.
