SPECIFIC AIM OF THIS UNIT:

To identify and describe animals found in the farmyard. Investigate and report the use of animals in our daily lives. The farmyard program aims to provide people with the chance to get up and close to commonly farmed animals in a safe and controlled environment. We can provide information on the features of each animal as well as details on their uses in the commercial industries. It is a great program for building confidence with awareness of animals and their welfare. Upon entry to the farm, each person is given food for the animals to ensure thier educational experiance is up close and fun!

WHO WE CATER FOR!

Childcares/kindergartens:

Little kids (as well as the grownups!) love the chance to cuddle and feed their favorite animals! We offer young children the chance to finally meet the stars of their favorite books and TV shows, whilst teaching them about the animals and why we need them in our lives.

Primary Schools:

Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with all our friendly farm animals! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be hands on helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom. Why not combine the farm with the Milking Demonstration or Bush Babies for the perfect educational experience? For programs on life cycles visit or Rabbit Rearing or Chicken Hatching Page.

High Schools:

Our farmyard is perfect for science and agriculture classes, allowing students to meet in person the animals they have been learning about. Our hands on approach to learning will ensure that it is a class to remember! Our staff can teach the students about the unique features of all the animals and how they are utilized in our daily lives. Why not combine the farm with the Milking Demonstration or Bush Babies for the perfect educational experience?
