Hens
​

Have a look at the mummy hen and her baby chicks. A mummy chicken is called a hen and the daddy is called a rooster. 

The video has no sound. Use your eyes to observe what is happening. What can you see? Use some full sentences and talk to your grown up. 

Can you mark make a picture of a mummy hen and some chicks?

​Listen to the sound of the baby chick chirping... 
​It’s a soft and gentle sound.
​

Let’s do more junk modelling today! Can you make and decorate a Hen using some empty boxes/containers? What other farm animals and their babies can you make?
​

Hen’s Eggs

​We can have lots of fun today and make some pretend Hen’s eggs! We can make them using flour, water, salt and ground coffee. Then we can put them in the oven until they become hard. 
​

Here is the recipe:

1-2 cups of flour
Salt
1 cup of water added gradually (use more if needed)
Used coffee grounds (optional)

Mix ingredients and roll to look like eggs. Heat in the oven at 180 degrees until hard.

You can add anything you like to make your Hen’s eggs, the more ingredients you add the more fun it will be for everyone! 

Remember not all the Hen’s eggs are white!

​Counting the Hen’s Eggs

​When you’ve made the eggs you can make a nest, practice counting the eggs and finding the matching numbers.

​Can you make different groups? A group of 3 eggs, a group of 5, maybe a big group of 10!

Talk to your grown up about what the eggs feel like and look like.

Listen to some farm animal sounds. Name the animals, describe them and the different sounds they make. Can you try making these sounds?
