Learning About the Work of a Farmer 🚜🐔🌾
The Junior Room had a wonderful time learning all about the work of a farmer through the much-loved story of The Little Red Hen. This classic tale helped us explore how food is produced and how important teamwork and helping others can be.
During Aistear and station play, the children got creative in many different ways. At one station, they designed and built their very own farms, thinking carefully about what animals, buildings, and machinery a farmer might need. They also learned about farm animals and their young, matching mothers and babies and talking about how farmers care for them.
In art, the children made their own Little Red Hens using collage materials, creating bright and textured feathers. They then painted colourful backgrounds for their hens, showing fields, barns, and sunshine.
At the puppet station, the story was brought to life as the children retold The Little Red Hen using puppets and their own voices. It was wonderful to see them sequencing the story and using lots of new vocabulary.
And of course, no farm would be complete without some tractors! 🚜 The children enjoyed imaginative play using their ‘tractors’ to deliver hay to the cattle, just like real farmers at work.
This topic was full of fun, creativity, and learning — helping the children understand where our food comes from and how hard farmers work every day. A big well done to all our little farmers and hens! 🐥🌾
