Educational Support
Providing nature centred activities that help children to develop essential social and emotional skills to engage with school and learning
Here at Hall Farm Eastoft we provide a range of bespoke activities to enable children to improve well-being, self-confidence, self-esteem and develop essential social and emotional skills.
Learning how to handle our animals helps children to understand the importance of care, quiet and team work to provide a healthy and calm environment for our alpacas, chickens and pigs.
Helping in our garden area helps children to understand the importance of healthy eating, how to grow food, and how to work with others to develop their social and emotional skills.
Accessing the natural environment, either by learning about our farm activities or by understanding how nature works is known to help children (and adults) understand and manage their thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
To learn more about providing a mentally healthy environment for children visit mentally healthy schools web page.

· Learn and explore the natural environment

“Since working with the care farm we have witnessed the enthusiasm of the youngsters that are lucky to attend - their willingness to share their experiences with staff in school and the knowledge that they are gaining about the workings of a farm...The students return to school very calm and ready to engage in learning following their visits and experiences with the animals that are there.”
