Year 3 Visit to Butser Farm

Amazingly, we got to go to Butser ancient farm last week, where we had lots of fun. There were quite a few round houses and there was a fire in the middle of one. Round houses are a famous sight at this farm. We told the staff that back at school that we made round houses, which the staff were very impressed with. There was a friendly dog, who was called Moss, and helped the staff.

In the morning we did a rotation of activities, including archaeology , spinning wool and jewellery making.

Everybody was having a wonderful day, especially when the best time of the day came into our grasp… LUNCH TIME!

After having a tour of a hearty, beautiful Roman villa we created mosaics. This activity was a bit jumpy because a huge dragonfly flew over one persons head then past another’s head. After that we did some mini shopping. Half of us bought jewellery.

Finally we got on the coach to go back. It was a major experience for all of us. Apparently, we saw a floating strawberry on the way back. {I think it was a kite.} We loved having this hands on experience and would like to go again. The downside of this trip was when we went home with the smell of sheep on our hands!
