Down on the Farm!

This week our new animal focus is about farm animals. Our book of the week is Farmer Duck by Martin Waddell. Today we read the story and the children were excellent at joining in with the repeated phrases. 
In our role play area, we have set up a farm shop so the children can play together and take turns being the shop keeper and customer. We have lots of toy farm animals for the children to use to create their own stories and, in the water tray, the children have enjoyed exploring pigs in mud (angel delight!) This was a great sensory experience- some children really enjoyed getting their hands in while others were not too keen on the texture! Here are some photographs of us engaged in our learning:
