The Transition Year students of Abbey Community College enjoyed a trip to the Ploughing Championships last week.

They travelled to the Ploughing Championships as part of their science course. There was a great atmosphere as most of the students had never been to the championships before and they were very excited to see what it was all about. It was a fun experience for all the students. There were many different stalls to view from food stands to clothes stands to machinery and much much more. There was also horse ploughing in the fields opposite the main field. There were livestock tents with cows, bulls, sheep and pigs in them. It was very interesting for many of the students because some of them had never seen or touched a bull/cow before. Overall it was a very enjoyable day for all and the weather was good which made the day more enjoyable.
