Extra activities:
We sang "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" while we read the Pete the Cat book

We played a guessing game called "Farmer, farmer what do you see?". I held up pictures of farm animals and the children had to guess which animal it was and what sound it made. Animals used: goose, lamb, horse, goat, dog, chicken, cat, cow, pig and rooster.
