Class 7 went on a visit To Rays Farm. We went on a woodland walk and saw lots of fairy tale characters. We went in the fairy ring, held hands, closed our eyes and made a wish. but we can't tell anyone what our wish was.

We then had lunch and went around the farm animals. We saw lots of different animals, goats, reindeer, ducks, geese, llamas, horses, guinea pigs, sheep, turkeys and lots of different owls. They had a Kune kune pig which followed he rangers instructions and sat when she asked her to.
