Children Enjoy a Day on the Farm
Over one hundred school children from Thetford and Ipswich recently spent a day at Elveden gaining insight into where their food comes from. The trip organised through the Country Trust, an educational charity, enabled the children to get their hands dirty taking part in a range of activities from potato digging to sheep herding. The day was a huge success and full of lots of exciting new experinces, one boy saw a tractor for the first time and it was much bigger than he thought it would be.
