King’s Oak Primary School are inviting people to come to a free and family friendly open day as part of the UK wide School Farms Day celebration launched by UK charity Social Farms & Gardens and the School Farms Network.
The school will be open from 10am to 1pm and visitors will be able to meet the animals, read with our reading rabbits, tour the school and enjoy lots of other fun activities such as a bouncy castle and ice cream van.
The event is part of a national day of celebration and action that will see School Farms from all over the UK throw open their gates to welcome in the public in and showcase the amazing work they do. There will also be lots of online activity, farm tours and farm life videos – so follow the #SchoolFarmsDay hashtag in the lead up to and on the day.
There are more than 120 School Farms across the UK – connecting people in cities and some rural areas with food and farming, and hands-on learning. The School Farms Day is all about celebrating the important role that these special places have in communities and education.
Donna Ashlee, Chair, School Farms Network said: “School Farms Day is a perfect opportunity to showcase the amazing work that our passionate and dedicated staff do to connect students with farming and animal care, and how practical real life learning is so important for everyone.”
