    Children from Sunflowers Day Nursery were so overwhelmed by the Knaresborough Young Farmers Club's tractor run that they have been learning about tractors ever since.

    Children were so excited by seeing hundreds of tractors parading through their town a week ago that they have been using the experience to learn.

    Many youngsters from Sunflowers Day Nursery in Pateley Bridge watched Knaresborough Young Farmers Club's tractor run on March 13. Some even rode alongside adults in tractors.

    The event, which attracted a record 383 tractors, started at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate, stopped in Pateley Bridge for lunch and ended in Knaresborough.

    Children were overwhelmed by the site of so many tractors.



    It made such a big impression on young minds that the nursery adopted tractor-themed learning last week.

    Nursery manager Heather Clark Kelly said:

    "Many of our little Sunflowers were totally overwhelmed by the amount of tractors they saw and their experiences have totally impacted on our learning this week.
    "We have been talking about tractors, counting tractors, classifying tractors be colour, lining up tractors, sharing pictures of our own tractors and finally concentrating on our different skills to colour and cut out tractors to make a huge picture.
    "Everything which happens in the children's lives presents a learning opportunity, and this was no exception."
