CHICKENS LAY EGGS

Do cows give us eggs? No! Cows give us milk. Do chickens give us eggs. Yes, chicken lay eggs! We watched a video about a chicken farm and read books, but the best way of learning is seeing it firsthand. Better yet, EAT what we are learning. We touched the eggs, had a feel of the smooth shell and cooked them. We had fried eggs – sunny side up and scrambled eggs. Thank you chickens for your eggs! Itadakimasu thank you for the food!

ANIMALS & COUNTING

Animals give us food and we take care of the animals. We feed the chickens and the cows and they give us food. Animals and people help one another – this is our last line of inquiry. We had a guessing game too – Guess what animal makes this sound? (Please see Youtube video below.) We pointed to the animals on the paper. Good guessing, Canyon! The all-time favourite song about farm animals is BINGO, of course! Numbers are everywhere. We counted the 10 eggs in the tray and worked on number recognition too by colouring the numbers.

MUD PLAY & SHOW and TELL

“I am making chocolate soup, muddy puddles, swimming pools” – these were the words that Canyon were using during mudplay and more. Thank you for bringing in the animals for Show & Tell – a real live praying mantis, whale shark, sparrow bird, monkey and unicorns! Till next week, have a cool Autumn weekend.
