A Special Visitor in P1

30th Mar 2026

Our Primary 1 children had a fantastic and memorable visit from Brian and his amazing 71-year-old vintage Massey Ferguson tractor! This exciting experience linked perfectly with our Spring topic, helping the children explore life on the farm ahead of our upcoming visit after Easter. The children were thrilled to have the opportunity to sit in the tractor and see it up close, sparking lots of curiosity and excitement. Brian explained how the tractor works, introducing the children to its different parts and what makes it run, bringing learning to life in a fun and engaging way. It was a wonderful hands-on experience that combined learning, exploration, and lots of smiles!
