Summary of the Story

‘Old MacDonald had a Farm’ is our delightful adaptation of the popular nursery rhyme. This time, we discover the well-known farmer’s animals have disappeared!

A strange, hooded figure is suspected but who is this mystery villain and why would he steal Old MacDonald’s animals? Luckily, a friendly Russian Scientist appears with an amazing invention that might just save the day. It is a time machine!

Can the scientist and his marvellous machine help our farm-yard hero piece the clues together or are the animals lost forever?

Introduction

Explain to the children that animals from the farm have gone missing and Old MacDonald needs help to find them.

Younger pupils - Sing ‘Old MacDonald had a Farm.’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDt_MhIKpLM Older pupils - Learn about characteristics of farm animals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-CuUnVsSOQ Organise pupils into a circle. Place four hoops on the ground labelled ‘Cow,’ ‘Sheep,’ ‘Pig’ and ‘Duck.’ (Resource 1) Share key vocabulary with the class. (Resource 2) Can the children place the descriptions in the correct hoop? Can they add a description of their own? (Blank labels included in Resource 2)

Main Activity

As a class, discuss what people might do when a pet/ goes missing e.g put up posters, advertise in the local paper, blog on social media. Inform pupils that they are going to help Old Macdonald by either:

HA: Writing a letter to local residents. (Resource 3a)

The People’s Theatre Company Old MacDonald had a Farm Education Pack

The People’s Theatre Company Old MacDonald had a Farm Education Pack

Introduction

Ask children to recap the story of ‘Old MacDonald had a Farm.’ Who are the main characters? Can they describe the setting? What important events happen and when? Organise pupils into small mixed ability groups (approx. 6)

Main Activity

Children colour and cut out animal masks (Resources 6a, b, c & d) Teacher/TA to assist with safely piercing eyeholes and attaching string to sides ensuring masks sit comfortably on children’s faces. On completion, instruct pupils to re-enact the story or devise their own version of ‘Old MacDonald had a Farm.’ Groups may take it in turns to perform their work to the class at the end of the lesson.

Plenary

‘Hot Seating’

Organise the children into a circle. Choose a child to sit on a chair in the middle. Modelled by the teacher, each pupil asks the child a question related to their character. The ‘Hot Seated’ child must answer in role. e.g: Old MacDonald, how did you feel when you lost all your animals? Bette the Sheep, why did you wander off into the pasture?

Another character can then be chosen to take the ‘Hot Seat.’

“Tell me Mr Old MacDonald. So far we have cow, sheep and pig. Do you have other animals on the farm?” asked the Russian Scientist.

Introduction

Now that the animals have returned safely, Old MacDonald wants to keep track of how many animals he has on the farm. Farmer Giles and Mrs MacDonald helped by counting them all but Old MacDonald needs to present this information in a way that is easily accessible.

Warm up: Practise counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s http://www.ictgames.com/whackAMole/index.html

Main Activity

Ask the pupils of ways you can present results. Establish examples such as pictograms, bar charts etc. Using Mrs MacDonald’s data (Resource 7) create:

HA: A bar chart (Resource 8a) demonstrating the numbers of each animal on the farm (Y axis = Steps of 5.) Answer questions (Resource 11) by interpreting the data presented.

MA: A bar chart (Resource 9a) demonstrating the numbers of each animal on the farm (Y axis = Steps of 2) Answer questions (Resource 11) by interpreting the data presented.

LA: A pictogram (Resource 10a & b) demonstrating the

The People’s Theatre Company Old MacDonald had a Farm Education Pack

numbers of each animal. Complete true or false statements (Resource 11) by interpreting the data presented.

Answers (Resource 8b, 9b, 10c)

Plenary

Write a factual sentence based on findings related to bar chart/ pictogram e.g: There are ten more sheep than on Old MacDonald’s Farm.

Introduction

Revisit the animals found on Old MacDonald’s farm. Can the class suggest other animals/ creatures found on a farm (prompt children to include insects, humans, pets etc.)

Point out that such a large list of creatures can be confusing. If we organise them it is easier to learn more about them.

I’m afraid we’re in terrible trouble, you see it’s little Bo Peep… She’s lost her sheep! Introduction Lots of animals are going missing! The class has been given the task of designing a farm to ensure all animals are safe and provided for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULlnRZz69QE

Main

Discuss the needs of various farm animals and encourage the children to consider these when designing a farm. Share resource 15a and 15b and discuss strengths and weaknesses in plans e.g Is there a barn for livestock to shelter in bad weather? Is there enough space to allow animals to be comfortable? Is there a fence surrounding the fields?

HA: Using Design or Draw Software, design a farm including space for free range cows, sheep, ducks and pigs and at least one crop. Include a key representing all features clearly. MA: Design a farm (using Resource 16a) including

space for free range cows, sheep, ducks and pigs and at least one crop. Include a key (Resource 16b) representing all features clearly.

LA: Cut and paste features (Resource 17) onto Resource 16a to create a free range farm.

Plenary

Peer Assessment: Children present completed designs to class. Was the Design Brief met? Are there areas for improvement? e.g: I made sure the animals had a barn to sleep in but next time I’d keep the pigs and sheep separate so they don’t get frightened.

Farmer MacDonald

Chestnut Farm Breezy Fields

England

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to request your help. Sadly, yesterday evening, many of

my animals went missing. I’m sure you can imagine how worried and upset I have been.

Firstly, my large cow disappeared. She should be easy to spot with her black and white

markings and long, swishy tail. If you should hear a deep “Moo!” it will probably be my

beloved cow, Daisy.

Next, I discovered that my woolly sheep had wandered out of the green field. I

imagine he is busy nibbling grass as that is his favourite hobby. To my horror, I then realised my favourite pig had also gone! She loves wallowing around in mud and grunting through her snout. She will surely be missing her sty.

Finally, my feathered ducks waddled away without so much as a “quack!” You might recognise them by their webbed feet and yellow beaks. If you do see any of these lost animals please do not hesitate to contact me. I really appreciate any support you are able to C offer at this difficult time and will happily reward any help with a slice of my wife’s delicious

homemade cake.

Yours sincerely,

Farmer MacDonald

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye, Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, And wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic

Every Teddy Bear who's been good is sure of a treat today There's lots of marvellous things to eat and wonderful games to play Beneath the trees where nobody sees they'll hide and seek as long as they please Cos that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for Teddy Bears The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today Watch them, catch them unawares and see them picnic on their holiday See them gaily gad about They love to play and shout They never have any cares At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies will take them home to bed 'Cause they're tired little Teddy Bears
