A group of Y10s went to Merrist Wood today, an @Activate_Learn college who run specialist courses in animal & agricultural industries. Facilities include stables, workshops, animal centres & landscaping. We got to tour the site, meet some animals & even feed the baby goats!
ALT Students stood in a stable, one is stroking a black cob with a white nose and a long, wavy mane over the front of its face.
ALT Two students stood next to a giant tortoise in its enclosure, one is touching the tortoise on its shell.
ALT Students stood around the outside of a pen, inside are goats of different colours and some kid goats, some of the goats are being fed through the fencing.
AoC monthly spotlight: @Activate_Learn have been awarded the armed forces covenant Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award, a prestigious accolade awarded by the UK Ministry of Defence.
