Dear diary,
We arrived at Wick Court! We walked in, sitting in the living room and were told what our dorms were and then we put our bags away to start working. We fed the pigs outside then we checked the horses. There is a lot more! The food was amazing. They had basket ball and lots of stuff. We did dorm challenges every time we did dorm inspections. They had an Attic with a library and a class room. Also at the end they had a shop I bought a sketch book, notebook, mint tea, 2 flower seeds and a bookmark.
Wick court was amazing! It all started when, we walked off the coach into a new place we would experience, a small farm named Wick Court, run by a company called Farms For City Children. The building of Wick Court has been around since the Tudor era. Believe it or not Queen Elizabeth 1st stayed there. It’s a working farm with pigs, cows sheep, horses, geese and chickens. Our class got to experience what it’s like to be a farmer. Some of the best things were: Walking the horses, training the lambs and so much more. We loved Wick Court.
As we stepped off the coach, the smell of horse’s was dung already in our noses. Through the crickets, old courtyard, they lead us straight into the parlour. In there lay four soft worn out sofas all around the room and a soft striped carpet on the floor. The fresh air healing the colds and coughs from the city. Through the window the most we saw was fields of grass and an old wooden gate at the end. Upstairs was all the dorms where we all split into our rooms. Through the window we saw all the pigs we were about to feed.
As we arrived at the beautiful Wick Court, I could already tell I would love it. We were taken to the parlour ant told all about the farm and our dorms. After we had our dinner in a cosy kitchen, we started our first jobs on the farm. Some of us went to feed the Gloucester Old Spot pigs and the many different types of chickens. Some of us also went down the road to a neighbouring Dairy farm. We fed the Holstein Fresians, Aberdeen Anguses and the British Blue. Wick Court was the best experience ever and I enjoyed it a lot.
