16th – 20th April

This week is farm week at The Children’s House!! During the week the children will be doing activities such as looking at the parts of the cow & then milking a cow (a disposable glove with a pin prick in the fingers acting as an udder filled with milk, under a picture of a cow, over a bucket!), pinning the tail on the pig (colour sort game), playing with the farm on a painted table, finding the hen’s eggs (number game) in the garden, and discussing things like which animals live on the farm, which animals have horns/hooves etc…there will be lots of opportunities for children to give their input this week, so if anybody lives on/has access to a farm, please ensure to come in & share your knowledge together with your child!

Old MacDonald

Old MacDonald had a farm, E I E I O,
And on that farm he had a cow, E I E I O,
With a ‘moo moo’ here, and a ‘moo moo’ there,
Here a ‘moo’, there a ‘moo’, everywhere a ‘moo moo’ –
Old MacDonald had a farm, E I E I O!
