Down on the farm!

In April, we focused on the farm during playtime!  We made paper plate animals, played with the toy farm, built lots of farm machinery from lego and made a farm jigsaw!

We worked together to build a farm jigsaw!

We helped each other to cut the masking tape for sticking our farm animals together! We make a good team!

Egg boxes served as great noses for our paper plate animals!

We built roads for tractors to drive on!

We even built milking parlours with the lego!

Working on our animals!

It was fun to build farm machinery and buildings!

Linda Whelton introduced us to her dog Bruce!  She let us pet the dog and showed us his food.  It was a hot day, so we gave him a drink of water!

Finally,  Don and Katie Ward visited us with a ewe and her two baby lambs.  We got to pet the lamb and Don and Katie showed us the sheep nuts that the lambs likes to eat!  It was a lovely opportunity to pet  real life farm animals and learn a little more about farm life and how farmers care for their animals!

The lamb was so soft!

The Mammy ewe and her lambs!

We were extremely gentle when petting the lamb!

Thanks very much to Don and Katie for making springtime so special for Junior Infants!
