conversations with llama

Bocketts Farm park is a working family farm set in the beautiful Surrey countryside.

Taking my little babaru to the farm exposes them to the understanding that plants are grown and meat comes from animals. Based on their age, maturity and emotional sensitivity, we can introduce different concepts during our visit each times.

Learning outdoors they know more, understand more, feel better, behave better, work more cooperatively and are physically healthier.

Learning for life:

A visit to the farm provides the opportunity to embed learning and behavioural development in real life situations, whether learning to treat large livestock with sensitivity and respect, calculating the correct spacing for planting seedlings, or identifying solutions to overcome practical problems.

New experiences:

Little babaru{s} enjoy a completely different life experience at the farms and addresses the poverty of experience that so many little babaru{s} face. Being immersed in vibrant rural life gives urban and disadvantaged little babaru the opportunity to enjoy many new sensory experiences. The sights, sounds and smells of the farm are all new, as is the freedom to explore, the dark skies full of stars, and the silent nights.

Self belief:

Spending time in the countryside can reduce stress and allows little babaru to break free from behavioural challenges. Through the purposeful farming tasks they develop new skills, learn to cope with risks, overcome fears, become increasingly independent, and build a deep sense of confidence in their abilities. From this, their self-belief and self-esteem flourishes and their happiness soars.

Also not only is it fun for them it is also a fun day out for us :) a very nourishing and relaxing trip.
