Sell Share Sheep Shellfish Shrubs Size Specialty Supervise Training Traits Trees Variety Vegetables Water Watering Weather Farm animals Submitted by TE Editor on 7 August, 2008 - 04:01 Introduction Children love units connected with animals and farm animals can provide lots of fun opportunities to practise sounds and phonics. Aims: Farm vocabulary pig, sheep, cow, horse, chicken, hen, dogs, cat, goat, duck, rabbit, farmer, farm, stable, hay, grass, milk, eggs

Animal noises quack, moo, miaow, woof, neigh, squawk, baa etc

Other vocabulary greetings language such as How do you do? My name is Pleased to meet you Grammatical structures action verbs such as eat, make, lay, go to bed, go to sleep o telling the time o prepositions of place such as behind, in front of , next to

Other language areas phonetics inspired by sounds found in the song Old MacDonald had a farm

Counting sheep Age: 7+ In Britain and other western cultures we talk about counting sheep to help us fall asleep. Find out if your pupils do the same thing. Find out what time they go to bed and then what time they go to sleep. This can be used for a class survey.

They can ask other people in the class and then feedback on a class chart the results.

They will practise two questions What time do you go to bed? and What time to you go to sleep? while also practising the time At eight oclock At half past eight.

Draw a picture of a child asleep in bed with a dream cloud above her head and a row of sheep. You can use this to practise numbers with the children counting the number of sheep. Get them to imagine an actual dream and draw it on their picture.

Babe - Video work Age: 10+ Using video in class can change the pace and captivate your group of children. Excerpts you use should not be too long. A few minute of film accompanied by language work can be much more interesting and effective than an hour and a half of watching the television with no objective other than filling in time.

Play the first few minutes of the film with no sound.

Get the children to feedback on what they saw. What do they think the film is about? A pig, a teacher or a child? Provide multiple choices to guide them. In the first ten minutes of the film you have some scenes on the farm. Use these sequences to do some animal recognition work. They could then listen to the extract and then the older primary pupils could even make up a short dialogue between Babe and Fly, the sheep dog who adopts Babe, the first time they meet. This could be a greetings conversation.

Animals and animal sounds Age: 4+ Provide the flashcards yourself or spend a little time with the children making a flashcard each. Laminate flashcards so you can use them again and again. Put the children into pairs and distribute flashcards of about 10 farm animals.

One person holds up a card without being able to see it themselves.

Their partner must make the noise the animals makes for the person whos holding the card to be able to guess the animal. They should be familiar with at least some of the names. You can fill in the gaps as you monitor.

Songs The Farmers in his den new words Age: 5+ This can be done as a sitting down song if space is limited or as a circle with designated farmers and animals. It is more interesting for the children if you change the words of this song. It allows for many more animals

Try using a different animal for each verse and include either the noise they make or what they eat or do on the farm.

The children can mime the animals as they join the central group of children. E.g.

The hens lay an egg The rabbits like carrots The cows make the milk The horses eat the hay The sheep eat the grass etc

3 little ducks This is another popular song that you can tie in with your farm unit. Make sure you use props (rubber ducks), finger movements or bodily actions to act out this song.

Its repetitive enough that the children very quickly pick it up and enjoy participating.

3 little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away Mother duck said "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" but only 2 little ducks came back 2 little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" but only 1 little duck came back 1 little duck went swimming one day Over the hills and far away Mother duck said "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" but now no little ducks came back 0 little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away Mother duck said "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" and all 3 little ducks came back

Old Macdonald had a farm No farm unit would be complete without this classic song that children love to sing. The chorus with ee i ee i oh lends itself particularly well to introducing phonetic work. You can split the board into three columns and put the three phonetic sounds at the top of the columns.

Together you can build up a picture gallery of words with the same sound in them. In can be things you find on a farm (difficult), just words in English they know (easier), or provide them with a list of farm words which they have to place in the correct group (the most controlled version).

With the very young learners content yourself with singing the song with them. Give groups different animal sounds to do.

Art work - Farm scene Draw a farm scene and photocopy or use the picture at link number 11 The children can stick or draw small flashcards of animals onto their farm scene. You tell them where the animals go, they listen and stick.

You can use this activity to practise recognition of prepositions of place such as next to, behind, in front of etc.

Agriculture in Your LifeOverview Students will practice word manipulation while categorizing sources of basic agricultural products. Lesson extensions provide additional opportunities for students to make real connections to agriculture. Suggested Grade Level 2-5 Estimated Time 20 - 30 minutes Objectives Students will be able to: 1. identify the original agricultural sources of basic everyday products produced around the United States. 2. identify food and fiber products outside traditional farming circles. Materials 1. Activity Sheets A, B, & C 2. Colored pencils or crayons Background

Agriculture plays a major part in our lives: from what we wear, to what we use in our classes, and even to what we do after school. We may not always think of agricultural products as the physical source of the items or things we use everyday. However, most daily essentials can be traced back to an agricultural source. Production agriculture, or farming, is what most students think of when they hear the word agriculture. This is the actual production or growing of raw commodities. People who raise and harvest crops and livestock for consumption or purchase are typically categorized as farmers and ranchers. It doesnt stop there. Production agriculture also includes a variety of specialties, such as fish, timber, fur-bearing animals, trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs and much more. Most of the products we use everyday come from agriculture. The sheets we sleep on and the pajamas we wear are made from cotton, just like Q-tips for your ears. The feathers in pillows may come from chickens or ducks. The cereal andUSDA Ag in the Classroom- www.agclassroom.org Agriculture in Your Life-Grades 2-5: T-2

milk we eat for breakfast; the pencils, crayons, and paper that we use at school; and the baseballs, bats and gloves we use after school all originate from raw agricultural products. We know that our food comes from agriculture, but we are surrounded by and reliant upon many agricultural products the whole day through. Vocabulary/Glossary agriculture farming; the science, art and business of cultivating the soil, producing crops and raising livestock useful to people. cotton the soft, white seed hairs, which fill the seed pod of the cotton plant. crops agricultural products, growing, harvested, or collected; for example, wheat, cotton, fruit, honey. dairy cows cows raised mainly for the production of milk for dairy products. farmer a person who earns a living by farming, especially one who manages or operates a farm. forestry the science of systematic forest management for the production of timber, conservation, recreation, and wildlife. flowers plants cultivated for their blossoms; flowering plants. horticulture the art or science of growing flowers, fruit, vegetables, trees or shrubs. livestock domestic animals kept for use on a farm or raised for sale and profit. rancher a person living and working on a large farm raising livestock in large numbers. timber trees or forests collectively; wood suitable for building whether cut or still in the form of trees. wheat any of several cereal grasses having dense erect spikes containing grains which thresh free of chaff. Activity 1. Discuss background information, then hand out Activity Sheet A. Students should match the product with its agricultural source. Answer Key: Activity Sheet A timber paper, pencils, potpourri, houses dairy cow cheese, ice cream, yogurt cotton blue jeans, paper, shirts flower perfume, potpourri

wheat spaghetti, tortillas, cereal 2. Discuss with students other products that come from agriculture. 3. Hand out Activity Sheet B. Discuss the vocabulary words and the boldfaced heading words listed to ensure that students understand them. 4. Review alphabetizing. Have students write the vocabulary words in alphabetic order on the lines under each heading. After students complete the exercise, they can complete the Word Find puzzle.USDA Ag in the Classroom- www.agclassroom.org Agriculture in Your Life-Grades 2-5: T-3

Answer Key: Activity Sheet B crops corn, cotton, rice, soybean, wheat livestock beef cattle, dairy cattle, poultry, sheep, swine horticulture apples, flowers, trees, turf grass, vegetables dairy butter, cheese, ice cream, sour cream, yogurt 5. Have students work on Activity Sheet C. NOTE: Each commodity should have a different color dot and each commodity should be marked on the United States map with its designated color. Extensions 1. Adopt an Agriculturist Many teachers find it useful to have someone involved in production agriculture adopt their class. The students correspond regularly with the farmer or rancher and his/her family to practice writing skills and learn about the day-to-day operation of the farm or ranch. The family may send photographs or videotapes, grain or feed samples and other items from the farm or ranch. In turn, the students can write to the family to ask questions or react to what they have learned. (NOTE: Before students become involved, the teacher and the farm family need to set goals for the program. Establish a regular correspondence schedule to keep students interested. Try to get the farm family to visit the classroom, or schedule a student field trip to the farm.) 2. Have students look beyond Activity C and place answers on a larger wall map of the United States. Ask students to discuss agricultural products they know are grown in certain parts of the country. For example, Florida and California: citrus fruits; Gulf of Mexico: seafood. Why are these products produced in these locations? Have groups draw these products or cut out pictures from magazines to place on the classroom map. State rankings of various common commodities are available from the USDA website 3. Have the class construct an occupation line showing how many people and different occupations are involved in delivering a raw product to the consumer (transportation, manufacturing, packaging, sales, stores, etc.) Use several products including some that the consumer uses fresh (fruit, beef or chicken) and some that are changed from the raw material (clothing, furniture).Adapted from Food for America, National FFA Organization, P.O.

Where in the United States does your food come from? Where does your lunch come from? Most states produce their own milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Some states produce so much of a particular crop or animal that they have become famous for their particular products. Color each small circle on the legend with a different color and then color a small circle on the map to match the products of the most productive states in the United States. Mark each agricultural product with a different color. Many states will have more than one colored circle. Why are these products produced in these locations? Legend O Beef: Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Oklahoma, and California. O Chickens: Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Texas.
