School doing lambing visit, does anyone know the sign for farm or farmer? We know the animals (and can do some of the noises!)

Do gesture like a big gut on a bloke, then sweep hand aropund to denote land. (One I use a lot.)

Yes, dd was signing farm by the end of the day. Started with big yellow bus with lift and clamping points, but half-way through day it was swapped for normal yellow bus, so they had to carry her in and put chair in hold!
