Our first farm school of the term was on the topic of MUDCRABS! A bunch of lovely kids and grown ups, many of them newcomers to farm school, enjoyed a fun day of ecology, biology, poetry, art and crabology!
Fun facts:
*a female crab is called a 'Jenny'
*when a female crab is carrying her eggs she is 'in berry'
*if a crab loses a leg they can grow a new one!
The most exciting part was catching a whole bunch of cute little crabs, studying them, enjoying them and of course, releasing them at the end of the day.
The muddy handprint artworks were great fun as well and some children added the most amazing detail to their art, really demonstrating how much information they had absorbed.
Aint nothing like good, messy, muddy, hands on learning in the great outdoors!
