[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 8045723, member: 2303"] Quite a few years ago , we had an arrangement with our local primary school , to bring the "babies " and follow on class children to our place when we were lambing . I always tried to have an odd pet lamb to feed , and usually we would have a broody hen with chicks, and perhaps pups or kittens . It went down a storm with the kids . Not surprisingly each years kids were the same , there would always be snotty nosed little lad who always put his foot down a drain , a clingy little girl who insisted on holding my hand , one or two bolder ones who needed watching , but all told it went down well . I asked them if they could send me a drawing of anything they'd seen , and I would give a prize to the best . I would get a load of drawings and I never picked a winner , I used to send a big bag of mixed sweets and say they were all good . Unfortunately , what with our insurance , and H and S (ours and theirs ) I had to call a stop to it - very regretfully I must say . Another time , I arranged with our electrician to set up a 12 volt heating lamp from a LO-VO, box , took that down to the school with a pet lamb and all the paraphernalia and instructions to do with feeding it . The teacher told me that one child never left the box for a minute , all the time it was there , simply looking after the lamb . They had it for a full day and I brought it back later in the afternoon . That went down well too . I like to think it did good also . [/QUOTE]
