The Mini Farmyard and Early Learning
Our focus on Science Foundations & complimenting the Australia School Curriculum.
The Mini Farmyard Objective:
To identify and describe animals commonly found in the farmyard and also to investigate and report the use of animals in our daily lives.
Our farm animals have basic needs, which include food & water. From piglets to turkeys, our friendly Farmyard animals showcase a variety of external features and the different stages of growth, how they change and have offspring similar to themselves.
What age group best suits the Farmyard:
Preschool, Kindergarten, Child Care & Primary School Education from Foundation to Year 6. But, the information & interaction can be enjoyed by all ages.
Little kids (as well as the grownups!) love the chance to cuddle and feed their favorite animals! We offer young children the chance to finally meet the stars of their favorite books and TV shows, whilst teaching them about the animals and why we need them in our lives
Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with all our friendly farm animals! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be interactive helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom. Why not combine the farm with the Milking Demonstration or Bush Babies for the perfect educational experience? For programs on life cycles visit or Rabbit Rearing or Chicken Hatching Page. Our farmyard is perfect for science and agriculture classes, allowing students to meet in person the animals they have been learning about. Our engaging approach to learning will ensure that it is a class to remember! Our staff can teach the students about the unique features of all the animals and how they are utilized in our daily lives. Why not combine the farm with the Milking Demonstration or Bush Babies for the perfect educational experience?
