Field Trips
Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
Ferguson/Hard Bargain Farm
Here are memories from former students.
The field trip was fun! We went to the attic of the barn, the hayloft. We went on a hayride. Also, we rolled down a steep hill. Carl
At the farm, I found a crayfish under a log. It was little. I found a deer skull. It was cool. Ethan
I liked the part when I got to feed the chickens! We got to see a turkey named Rufus! I also got to see a pig. I saw a bald eagle. I had lots of fun. Sincere
At Ferguson Farm, we saw a turkey, sheep, chickens, roosters, bunnies, goats, a ram, cows, and a donkey. We went on a hayride. When it starts, it jerks like it wants us to fall off. We saw where they put all the hay. Amaka
The turkey had a bad attitude. He kept fussing at me and tried to nibble me.
I liked the sheep because they are cute and funny. Thanks to Mrs. Galbreath. We had a good time. But I am still upset about that turkey! Dominick
My favorite part was the hayride. On the hayride, we saw a hawk. It was fun. I had a good time at the farm. Simon
When we went to the farm, we saw a garden. They grow veggies like yams, corn, and onions. They also raise animals, like chickens, cows, and goats. We went on a hayride through a wheat field. It was lots of fun. Olivia
The turkey thought he was human! The donkey's name was Chili-Coco. She was so cute. Rufus, the turkey, was so funny! We were rolling down the steep hill. I got so dizzy, I fell down! Tiffany
I liked learning about the animals. I learned that bulls do not chase red. Turkeys do chase red. I really liked rolling down the hill the best o all. Zane
I got to hold three eggs, but not at the same time. I named mine Jack! We saw goats. The farm was fun. I liked the hayride the most! Wade
I enjoyed petting the goats. I liked the hayride. I liked rolling down the big hill. I enjoyed petting the rabbit. Anyah
My favorite part of the trip was when Rufus, the turkey, kept gobbling at us. Did you know that a mule is a hybrid? It is part horse and part donkey. Did you know there's an animal called a zorse? It's part zebra and part horse. Aaron
My favorite part of the farm was seeing Rufus. He thinks he's a child. He doesn't know he is a turkey. I saw him put his feathers out. Cyrus
When we went to the farm, we learned about new bugs. We saw a bald eagle. It was cool. We rolled down the huge hill. That was the best part. Terance
When we saw a deer skull, I was sad. When we went on the hayride, there was not a lot of hay. The turkey was big! I saw trees nibbled by beavers. Priya
On the field trip, we saw a cow named Annie. The thing I liked the most was the top of the barn. At the top of the barn, there were four haystacks. We saw a turkey named Rufus. He is a big turkey. Nicaela
I liked when we rolled down the hill. I liked when I lifted up the log with Tiffany. I liked the cute rabbits. One even had red eyes. I liked when our guide said that Rufus thought he was a person. Jordan
My favorite part of the Ferguson Farm field trip was when Rufus, the turkey, was talking back to us. I liked the goats, cows, pigs, and the donkey. I liked all the animals! It was pretty fun. Jayann
I liked seeing the cows, pigs, and goats. We fed the goats. They liked it when we pet them. We saw the turkey, too. He was nice. We saw a donkey. Then, we went on a hayride. It was fun. Alaina
We went to the farm. My favorite part was rolling down the big hill. I liked the goats. We went on a wagon ride to the river walk. We saw an eagle. We learned about cattails. We looked for shells. Gavin
The second grade class went to the farm. When we had lunch, all of us played a game. We had to run through a field and then all the way back to the lunch area. I came in 15th place. My belly was hurting when I got there. My favorite part was when we fed the chickens and pet the goats. Christian
I saw two sheep and their name's were Molly and Shadow. I saw a turkey named Rufus. He is funny. I saw a donkey named Coco. He was cute, I saw chickens and roosters. I rolled down a hill. I was on a hayride. I saw dairy cows. I pet some of the animals. I saw goats and I saw the mother goat, named Sparkles. She was cute. I saw the Ferguson's cabin. I saw a marsh. We walked on a beach. I saw trash on the shore of the river. It was a cool day! Evan
I liked the trip to Ferguson Farm. My favorite part was when we collected hen's eggs and when we fed the rooster. I had a lot of fun. Natalie
Please note: Rufus is no longer there.
