Early Years Petting Farm Family Fun at Colchester High School

It was such a delight to be able to once again invite children from birth to 5 years old to our Early Years Community Petting Farm Event on Saturday.  Open to the whole community, the young visitors loved meeting with the farm animals which included a donkey, a miniature pony, chickens, ducks, a sheep, a goat, rabbits and a dog.

Ms Gracie-Langrick, Headteacher said “We would just like to say thank you to all the families that attended our Early Years Petting Farm event.  At Colchester High School, we pride ourselves on our close-knit family environment and this was a lovely opportunity for us to open our doors to the local Colchester community and provide our young visitors with the opportunity, post Covid, to be able to connect with nature and celebrate the wonders of our world!”

As well as the Petting Farm, the children all enjoyed a wide range of indoor activities from face painting to mini Olympics, storytelling and music, and arts and crafts. The delicious animal biscuits were also a huge success with everyone!
