Recently, our little yellow school community spent a lovely fall morning at the apple orchard. There was much excitement and lots of happiness as we enjoyed the bus ride.

As we arrived at the orchard, the overcast day had turned warm and sunny. The first thing we did was meet our leader. She was very happy to meet us.

Then we were off to the barn!

| Over the bridge and away we go! |
Inside the barn, our leader taught us so much about apples! We learned about the different kinds of apples, how an apple tree is grafted and the many different foods that are made with apples.
After the barn, we boarded the wagon for our ride to the apple orchard.

| We are a long way from the barn. |
Wow! What a beautiful apple orchard!

| Learning how to pick an apple. |
It was time to pick some apples - one to eat and one to bring back to school.
The apples were so sweet and crunchy!
We finished up our apples on the wagon ride back to the barn. Those apples were delicious. We didn't want to waste a single bit!
Back in the barn, we learned about life inside a beehive and the role bees play in the life cycle of an apple tree.
We ended our visit with some playtime in the hayloft. Fun!
Sadly, our time at the apple orchard had come to an end.

Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and family members who joined us for our trip. It was a wonderful morning!
