Lambing Time on the Farm (KS1) (March – May)
In this talk, children learn about what happens at lambing time – a natural
seasonal process that takes place yearly on this Sussex downland and wetland
farm. The children learn about the growth of the lamb inside the ewe, the
process of birth (and how the farmer sometimes helps!), and the changes that
happen as the lamb starts to grow into an adult sheep. This is a seasonal talk,
and takes place in the main lambing barn, with a chance to see the ewes and
their lambs.
This talk supports the following curriculum learning outcomes:
