The Howick Grapevine
Have you ever gone to a farm to
help you with your school work?
Our grade 3-4 .class " at
Howick Central School visited
George Hayden's dairy farm on
April 16eleft-Ache gchool at 1:15
p.m: on Jack Mann's bus. We
looked at all the cows and asked a
lot of questions. We also saw the
milk tank and the top of the barn.
When our teacher went upstairs,'
she didn't know where we were.
We were swinging from ropes,
jumping in hayand all the other
things children like to do in
barns. Then we went outside the
barn and looked at the stable
cleaner. We thanked Mr. and
'nog. Hoyden for evilly/ us ice
cream and letting us see the
cows. We all enjoyed looking at
his farm and thought that it was a
good experience.
