Jamie’s Farm 2022

11 of our Year 5 and 6 children travelled to Monmouth in Wales to stay and help out at Jamie’s Farm. Spending 5 days away from home, working to run a farm is no easy task and our children certainly did our school and their parents proud. Find out what they got up to! 👇

What is Jamie’s Farm?

Jamie’s Farm uniquely combines farming, family and mindfulness sessions into a 5-day residential with a focus on giving children time and space to reflect, to renew and determine a new path for themselves. We do this by creating an environment where they feel respected, and are given opportunities to display their talents and show responsibility.

What does a typical day look like on the farm?

7:30 am	Rise and shine! Morning jobs start at 8 am!
9:15 am	A delicious breakfast made by one of the groups.
10:30 am	Farm jobs – working with the animals, doing maintenance on the farm, cooking lunch and preparing food.
12:15 pm	A delicious lunch prepared by one of the groups
1:30 pm	Farm jobs – again out on the farm, doing the jobs that need doing to keep the animals healthy and what is best for the farm.
4:00 pm	A tasty snack and then a walk or adventure!
5:30 pm	Shower time – farm work is smelly so it’s time to get clean.
6:30 pm	A delicious evening meal and games round the table. Then a film or time by the bonfire.
8:30 pm	Time for bed!

Take a look at what we got up to! We had tons of fun and are so thankful to the Jamie’s Farm team for giving us a chance to help run their farm, to explore beautiful countryside and to thrive and be successful. We can’t wait to come back again soon.
