Our aim is to encourage children to directly interact with our sheep and in doing so, learn about nature and the environment. Animal interaction supports child development of connection, empathy and caring through the physicality of what they see, hear, smell, and touch
(‘The influence of animals on the development of children.’ Endberg and Van Lith, 2011. The Veterinary Journal. Vol 190 issue 2)
Children will be able to stroke and cuddle the sheep, learning responsible and
empathetic ways to interact with these animals. In addition, there will be an opportunity to
learn about sheep anatomy and biodiversity using charts and physical identification.
Family Orientated experience (one hour): Two adults and two children from one family: £30. Extra children £5 each
