School Visits to Gemma’s Farm

Gemmas Farm is a cost effective alternative to your standard school trip; with no coach fees, no insurance worries and the opportunity to include every child in your school – all these advantages and the fact that each session can be tailored to support your schools current topics and the national curriculum have made us a very popular choice for schools, nurseries, pre schools and more.

Throughout every visit there will be numerous chances for children and adults to feed and be close to the animals, with a focus to build the confidence and understanding of all taking part.

Local press coverage of your visit helps promote your educational establishment and is a great way of reaching out to your local community.

There are lots of benefits to having interaction with animals, firstly wellbeing it encourages children to have empathy, helps build self-esteem, emotion wellbeing, and opens discussion on how we care for them and each other which in society can be a lacking skill set as children grow up in busy work households with lower incomes and less free time so less likely to have pets at home, we can discuss nurturing and responsibility along with routine that are all needed.

Encourage motor skills with grooming and handling of smaller animals.

Food to fork is a headline the government love so children are more in touch with how and where their food comes from we can discuss how where and why using different food groups, familiarise farming concepts promotes healthy living with hands on experience.

Interaction with animals is something we encourage on all levels of ability and ages an inclusive activity.
Can be used along side Maths, English, Science and Religion.

All the fun of the farm...
