Lesson video

Hello everybody Miss Hughes here and I'm joined by two special friends today.

Can you guess where I am? That's right, I'm on a farm.

I think we should give our new friends a name.

What should we call them? Tell your screen.

Great names.

I think we should call the black and white cow Daisy and the creed cow Bessie.

What do you think? Great.

Let's begin with our lesson, which takes place on a farm today.

So put on your welly boots because we will think about the animals that live on the farm and what offspring, what babies they have.

There will be three lessons on the farm.

One with me, two with Miss Sidenius, and three with Mrs. Garrard.

In this lesson, we will listen to a story, learn about the farm, learn what baby animals live on the farm.

And play a matching game to test our knowledge.

So you're going to need your listening ears for the story.

You're going to need your brain to test yourself at the end.

And you're going to need some paper and a pencil.

Pause the video, if you need to get the paper and pencil.

Great, let's begin.

We'll start by listening to a story.

And this story takes place on a farm.

The story starts where a farmer has a bulb.

My turn bulb, your turn a bulb is something we plant that grows.

Say that with me, a bulb is something we plant, that grows.

Point to the bulb the bulb has roots, and these roots go into the ground and soak up all of the nutrients in the soil so that the bulb can grow.

We can see that this bulb has started to shoot green leaves.

It is growing and in our story.

The farmer plants a bulb and it grows into a turnip My turn turnip, your turn.

A turnip is a vegetable.

It looks like this, its own purpley colour with a big stalk on it.

Have you tried turnip tell the screen what it tastes like? If you have some of you have tried it and some of you haven't, maybe if you haven't, you can ask your guardian to buy you one when they next go shopping so you can try it.

Now, this story is called The Enormous Turnip.

So get comfortable, I will begin.

Once upon a time, A farmer had a bulb, the farmer plants the bulb, the bulb grows into an enormous turnip.

The farmer is hungry.

Show me your hungry faces.

The farmer is hungry.

So the farmer pulls the turnip, can you pull it with me? Oh dear! The farmer pulls the turnip, but the turnip doesn't move.

So farmer calls his wife.

So the wife pulls the farmer, the farmer pulls the turnip pull! But the turnip didn't move.

The wife called the boy, the boy pulls the wife, the wife pulls the farmer.

The farmer pulls the turnip, but the turnip doesn't move.

The boy calls the girl, the girl pulls the boy, the boy pulls the wife, the wife pulls the farmer, the farmer pulls the turnip, lets all pull.

But the turnip doesn't move.

Think you can join in with me.

The girl, calls a dog, a dog makes a huff noise.

The dog pulls the girl, the girl pulls the boy, the boy pulls the wife, the wife pulls the farmer, the farmer pulls the turnip but the turnip doesn't move.

The dog calls the cat, meow the cat pulls the dog, the dog pulls the girl, the girl pulls the boy, the boy pulls the wife, the wife pulls the farmer, the farmer pulls the turnip, but it didn't move.

So the cat called a mouse.

the mouse pulls the cat, the cat pulls the dog, the dog pulls the girl, the girl pulls the boy, the boy pulls the wife, the wife pulls the farmer, the farmer pulls the turnip, I need your help here, Pull.

And finally out pop enormous turnip.

The farmer and his wife make soup and feed everybody on the farm.

It is delicious.

The end, your turn, the end.

Great job everybody.

That story is about a farmer who grows a turnip farmers grow lots of things in their fields.

And they also look after animals.

What animals were in the story? That's right.

There was the dog, the cat and the mouse.

They are just some animals that may live on a farm.

Lets see about what else happens on a farm.

Here's some pictures of things you might see.

Tell your screen what you might see on a farm? lots of ideas, you might see some animals like sheep, cows, or chicks.

You might see some crops like wheat or barley alright.

You may see a tractor or a combine harvester.

You may see some baby animals or some vegetables.

There are lots of things that we get from a farm, but what do farmers do? Well farmers work really hard, they work hard to raise animals, to help them grow and to grow and harvest crops.

Pause the video here and tell your screen the two things that farmers do.

They raise animals and grow and harvest crops, well done.

But why do we need farmers? Well, we get lots of different things from farmers lets have a look at what some of them are.

Some people eat meat.

And meat comes from animals that live on a farm like cows, and chicken and pigs.

So we need farmers so that we can have meat to eat.

You may eat dairy, like cheese or milk or cream.

Dairy comes from milk, and that milk comes from animals like cows and goats.

So we need farmers to give us dairy.

What are these? Eggs.

Do you know where eggs come from? That's right, eggs come from chickens.

So we need farmers to give us eggs to eat.

What about this one.

What's this? Wool and wool comes from sheep.

So we need farmers to give us wool so that we can make clothes.

You can see that farmers, give us lots of different things.

They give us meat, which comes from animals like cows and lots of others like chicken and pigs.

Dairy which comes mainly from cows, eggs which come from chickens and other birds and wool which comes from sheep.

We need farmers for lots of different reasons.

Farmers have to make sure there are enough animals on their farm to do all of those different things.

So they must make sure they are raising baby animals.

And lots of baby animals on a farm are born in Spring they're born in Spring because the weather gets warmer and the days get longer.

Hold your screen? And tell it why baby animals are born in Spring.

The weather gets warmer and the days get longer.

Meaning the baby animals are more likely to survive, to stay alive.

Let's take a look at some baby animals and think what animals they will grow up to be.

Here is a lamb.

What will a lamb grow into? Tell your screen.

A lamb will grow into a sheep.

Well done.

Here is a calf, it's a calf.

What will a calf grow into? There's a clue in the picture behind me.

Tell your screen.

A calf will grow into a cow.

Here is a piglet.

What will a piglet grow into? Tell your screen.

A piglet will grow into a pig.

What noise does a pig make? Oink, oink.

Great job.

And here is a chick, it's very cute.

What will a chick grow into? Tell your screen.

A chick will grow into a chicken.

What noise does a chicken make.

Buck, buck, buck.

Great job.

Now let's take a look at the life cycle of a chicken.

This is an example of how an animal grows through their life.

A chicken starts as an egg.

It starts as an egg.

The mother looks after the egg and when it is ready, that egg will start to hatch.

The little chick will pop out of the egg.

Then we'll have a little chick, a baby chicken.

And eventually that chick will grow into a chicken who lays eggs.

This is called a lifecycle because it goes round and round in circles.

So there is the egg, then the egg hatches it hatches into a chick, and the chick grows into a chicken who lays the egg.

This is the lifecycle of a chicken.

And all animals have their own life cycles.

Now we've heard a lot about baby animals that live on the farm and it's time for you to put your knowledge into practise with our matching game on the screen, you'll see four baby animals at the top and four adult animals at the bottom.

Let's name the baby animals quickly.

Shout them out with me.

Lamb, chick, pig, calf, and the adult animals, chicken, sheep, cow, pig.

Your first task is to pause the screen here and match the baby animal to the adult animal.

You might like to do that on some paper by writing it down or doing a drawing, or you might have to tell your screen, pause the video here.

Well done, everybody.

I can hear you working hard.

Here are the answers.

Let's check how you got on the lamb grows into sheep, the chick into a chicken, the piglet into a pig and the calf into a cow.

Excellent.

Now there's a second task.

If you would like to do some more learning.

And that is to draw the lifecycle of a chicken, starting with the egg, you can pause the video here and draw the life cycle of a chicken.

If you can't remember, you can rewind the video a little bit to recap it.

Well done.

Let's take a look at the answers.

We first have the egg, which hatches, grows into a chick, which grows into a chicken, which lays an egg.

This is the life cycle of a chicken.

Well done.

If you'd like to please ask your parents or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagging Oaknational and hashtag LearnwithOak.

I've had so much fun on the farm with Daisy and Bessie and all of you.

Well done for working so hard.

And I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Bye.
