How many animals on the farm?

Today we listened and sang this song. We had to work out how many animals were on the farm by making groups of ten and adding them all up.

Cockerels

This week we have begun to learn about farms. We are reading Charlotte's Web by E.B.White and enjoying Wilbur's adventures. We are learning lots of new words such as paddock, meadow, ewe, sow, heifer, coop and kid. We learnt how to draw a cockerel and used pastels to add some colour. Then we dyed the background.
