Meeting the Little Red Hen

Last week we read the story of "The Little Red Hen" and made soda bread. We also went to meet the schools very own little red hen called Fennel and her new friend, Parsley. The children had to remember to take their little voices and their kind hands when they went to see the hens. We took her some soda bread which we had made and some cucumber which is her favourite.   We got to stroke  Fennel gently . The children told me she was covered in feathers and felt soft, comfy and fluffy! In the afternoon we  even found an egg in the nesting box! Thank you Little Red Hen!
