Pearson Nursery School takes Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Our Pearson preschool children were counting down the days until our field trip to Frootogo Farms! A great local pumpkin farm in Waterdown perfect for our pumpkin adventure!



Once the children arrived (parents dropped off at the farm) our Farmer friend led us around the back for a bumpy wagon ride around the farm. Then the wagon dropped us off in the middle of the pumpkin field and as a class we chose one giant pumpkin for our classroom!

Next we went to the barn for a great puppet show and to pick out our very own mini pumpkins to bring home.

This was a terrific field trip that tied in nicely to our fall and Thanksgiving themes we have been discussing in the classroom in October.  Next week, our book of the week  is the Big Pumpkin and we know our preschool friends will be able to tell us all about the BIG pumpkins they touched and saw at the farm!




At Pearson, field trips are included in your nursery school fees and we're proud to plan educational and fun adventures outside of the classroom together as a school.
