Animal nutrition at Farmer Parrs

Fairsnape had a fantastic visit to Farmer Parrs for Cultural Capital this week as part of our Animal nutrition topic in Science.

The children were introduced to herbivores, omnivores and carnivores on the farm and discussed what their diet consisted of.

The children also learned about the differences between feeding animals in captivity compared to an animal diet in the wild. We got a chance to feed the animals and were introduced to some reptiles.

This trip gave us a great insight into animal diets and will help us to investigate animal nutrition further throughout the topic.
