Led by Alice

Three runners walked, ran, and cycled to spend a delightful morning at Oxford City Farm, lending a helping hand with craft activities, providing Shaun and his friends some love, and helping to serve (and sample!) some delicious home baked goods!

Over the course of half term, Oxford City farm hosted a week of open days. A popular location with highly sought-after events, they needed as many hands on deck to help the day run as smoothly as possible! In total, around 200 happy faces passed through their gates on Wednesday morning alone!

Liz arrived first and used her previous teacher's whiteboard skills to work, setting up the; 'around the world' vegetable craft table, where children were invited to create signs for different vegetables in their own languages, before welcoming farm visitors on the gate.

Jessica took lead on the veggie activity with great enthusiasm, making friends with lots of little people (Including our very own Isla!) before a good catch-up with Shaun and his pals!

Alice was stationed on tea and coffee duties, which involved sampling some of the freshly baked-warm out of the oven Walnut buns (which I can confirm was delicious!!)

After a morning of crafting, animal feeding, and campfire fun in the (chilly!) sun, nearly 200 happy faces went off to enjoy the rest of their day, and our good-deeding was further rewarded with leftover baked goodies for the road!

Great work team! See you soon Shaun!!
