My Class 1 pupils have recently enjoyed discovering farm animals in a fun way.
We started our lesson by imagining a visit to a farm. I asked if they had ever been to a farm before, what animals they had seen there, and what sounds those animals make. Then, I asked them what a farmer looks like. I drew one on the board and asked them to draw the farmer's head in the middle of their page.
Next, we watched several animated videos and listened to the famous Old MacDonald Had a Farm song. As each animal appeared, they answered the questions about its sound (What does a pig say? Woof-woof? No!). They giggled as they corrected the silly answers.

We drew all the animals around the farmer's head in the order they appeared in the song. At first, everyone joined in singing E-I-E-I-O, but soon, they started repeating the names of the animals and their sounds.
Finally, the pupils coloured everything and proudly showed their cheerful drawings to their classmates.
