Magna Visit

A follow-up to 3B's and 4H's visit to Magna in May. Thanks to Damien who created what you are about to watch.

1M's Cannon Hall visit 29/06/10

On the 29th June 2010, I went to Cannon Hall Farm.
I saw some goats, and one goat put his face in front
of me. I saw some pigs: they were sleeping.
I saw a bull and they were really smelly and I saw
one of them pooing! It smelt very bad.
We saw some birds. They were camouflaged
so it was very hard to see them. Then we went
to the play area. I went on a big slide and
and one person went down on his back head
first on the end of the slide. Anuli, Farhan and Sana played spies. Then it was time for lunch. I had a cheese
sandwich, some biscuits, and some apple juce. Then
we went back to see the animals. We saw some baby
rabbits: they were born with no fur. Then we saw guinea pigs.
When they were born, they had lots of fur.


Freddie, 1M.
