As a special rewards treat for hard work all year, Willow. Lass went to Smithills farm to see the animals and a special visitor… Father Christmas!

We went to see the lovely donkeys just like in the Christmas story on our way in. Then we went to see the meerkats, wombats, owls and lots of exciting animals outdoors. 
Next we went into a barn and went to see the cows, pigs, alpacas, horses and goats before we went to the petting zoo. We got to hold chickens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, goats and lots more!

Then we went to help feed the calves giving them lots of milk to grow big and strong.

We went to the cafe to warm up with our packed lunches and hot chocolates before it was time to visit Father Christmas! We went to see him in his grotto and told him all about what is on our Christmas lists. He said we could all have one present to take with us because we have been so good this year!
