Yesterday afternoon,  I had wrotten on the door of my classroom:”and don’t forget the solarcream and a hat for children.” Everyone was laughing reading this because it was raining!

This morning watching the sky, i was very sad to see a bad weather in perspective. But suddenly, as we were in the bus, the sun came back!!!

With the 28 children of 4 and 5 years old and 6 parents,3 mothers and 3 fathers, we arrived, a big smile on our faces,  at the farm of Belgentier with three other classes.

Of course I can’t show you the photos of kids and parents. but you can imagine our joy!

The farm is an old sheepfold of the XVI century. A palce full of charm!

After a short pause, puting our bags and raincoats in a nice place with banches and tables under tall trees, we began to discover the farm.

I’m sure you never saw a such cow! And kids had good time playing music taping on the cow!

Our host, presented us the food, children would have to give to the different animals.

At first, we visited the goats!

Aren’t these little kids cute! they are only 15 days old!

Here an angora ram!

Kids were so happy learning to communicate with sheeps!

We were very impressed by the bull!

But in fact it was the nicest bull it can be!

Here vietnamese pigs! three women pigs!

And here, Peggy the pig!

Rabbits, adorable!

The back of a turkey!

Its profil!

The ducks!

The oies,better than dogs!

Children did a tour on ponies! It was really a great moment for them. Only two on 28 didn’t want to do it. I suppose they afraid because they aren’t use to contact ponies.

After they did an other tour on barouche driving by a nice donkey! Finally, they all wanted children, parents and our host that I did a tour on barouche too! So I visited again all the animals but sitting in the barouche !!! The donkey stopped on our way because it didn’t want to continue its way! He simply decided to stop and eat grass! Now I know! donkey isn’t stupid only stubbord!

And for the end, a short halt under this beautiful cherry to taste the sweet cherries on it!!!

What better than living the real experience with animals at the pedagogical farm rather than learning on books closed in a classroom!

Could you say me what happened when we arrived in Ollioules?

It began to rain again!
