Summary of the Story
‘Old MacDonald had a Farm’ is our
delightful adaptation of the popular
nursery rhyme. This time, we discover
the well-known farmer’s animals have
disappeared!
A strange, hooded figure is suspected but
who is this mystery villain and why
would he steal Old MacDonald’s
animals? Luckily, a friendly Russian
Scientist appears with an amazing
invention that might just save the day.
It is a time machine!
Can the scientist and his marvellous machine help our
farm-yard hero piece the clues together or are the animals
lost forever?

children place the descriptions in the correct hoop? Can they
add a description of their own? (Blank labels included in Resource 2)

As a class, discuss what people might do when a pet/animal
goes missing e.g put up posters, advertise in the local paper,
blog on social media. Inform pupils that they are going to
help Old Macdonald by either:
HA: Writing a letter to local residents. (Resource 3a)

animals.
The People’s Theatre Company Old MacDonald had a Farm Education Pack
Introduction
Ask children to recap the story of ‘Old MacDonald had a
Farm.’ Who are the main characters? Can they describe
the setting? What important events happen and when?
Organise pupils into small mixed ability groups (approx. 6)
Main Activity
Children colour and cut out animal masks (Resources 6a, b, c & d)
Teacher/TA to assist with safely piercing eyeholes and
attaching string to sides ensuring masks sit comfortably on
children’s faces.
On completion, instruct pupils to re-enact the story or devise
their own version of ‘Old MacDonald had a Farm.’ Groups
may take it in turns to perform their work to the class at the
end of the lesson.
Plenary
‘Hot Seating’
Organise the children into a circle. Choose a child to sit on
a chair in the middle. Modelled by the teacher, each pupil
asks the child a question related to their character. The
‘Hot Seated’ child must answer in role.
e.g: Old MacDonald, how did you feel when you lost all your
animals? Bette the Sheep, why did you wander off into the
pasture?
Another character can then be chosen to take the ‘Hot Seat.’

“Tell me Mr Old MacDonald. So far we have cow, sheep and
pig. Do you have other animals on the farm?” asked the
Russian Scientist.
Introduction
Now that the animals have returned safely, Old MacDonald
wants to keep track of how many animals he has on the
farm. Farmer Giles and Mrs MacDonald helped by counting
them all but Old MacDonald needs to present this
information in a way that is easily accessible.
Warm up: Practise counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s
http://www.ictgames.com/whackAMole/index.html
Main Activity
Ask the pupils of ways you can present results. Establish
examples such as pictograms, bar charts etc. Using Mrs

each animal on the farm (Y axis = Steps of 5.) Answer
questions (Resource 11) by interpreting the data
presented.

Introduction
Revisit the animals found on Old MacDonald’s farm. Can
the class suggest other animals/ creatures found on a farm
(prompt children to include insects, humans, pets etc.)
Point out that such a large list of creatures can be confusing.
If we organise them it is easier to learn more about them.
Main
Practise grouping animals according to their similarities and
differences. Introduce and explain key vocabulary.

Introduction
Lots of animals are going missing! The class has been given
the task of designing a farm to ensure all animals are safe
and provided for.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULlnRZz69QE
Main
Discuss the needs of various farm animals and encourage
the children to consider these when designing a farm.
Share resource 15a and 15b and discuss strengths and
weaknesses in plans e.g Is there a barn for livestock to
shelter in bad weather? Is there enough space to allow
animals to be comfortable? Is there a fence surrounding the
fields?
HA: Using Design or Draw Software, design a farm
including space for free range cows, sheep, ducks and
pigs and at least one crop. Include a key representing
all features clearly.
MA: Design a farm (using Resource 16a) including
The People’s Theatre Company Old MacDonald had a Farm Education Pack
space for free range cows, sheep, ducks and pigs and at
least one crop. Include a key (Resource 16b) representing
all features clearly.
LA: Cut and paste features (Resource 17) onto Resource 16a to
create a free range farm.
Plenary
Peer Assessment: Children present completed designs to
class. Was the Design Brief met? Are there areas for
improvement?
e.g: I made sure the animals had a barn to sleep in but next
time I’d keep the pigs and sheep separate so they don’t get
frightened.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request your help. Sadly, yesterday evening, many of
my animals went missing. I’m sure you can imagine how worried and upset I have been.
Firstly, my large cow disappeared. She should be easy to spot with her black and white
markings and long, swishy tail. If you should hear a deep “Moo!” it will probably be my
beloved cow, Daisy.
Next, I discovered that my woolly sheep had wandered out of the green field. I
imagine he is busy nibbling grass as that is his favourite hobby. To my horror, I then
realised my favourite pig had also gone! She loves wallowing around in mud and grunting
through her snout. She will surely be missing her sty.
Finally, my feathered ducks waddled away without so much as a “quack!” You might
recognise them by their webbed feet and yellow beaks. If you do see any of these lost
animals please do not hesitate to contact me. I really appreciate any support you are able to
offer at this difficult time and will happily reward any help with a slice of my wife’s delicious
homemade cake.
Yours sincerely,
Farmer MacDonald

Sing a Song of Sixpence.
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
And wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his
money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!
Teddy Bears Picnic
If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big
surprise
If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in
disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for
certain
The People’s Theatre Company Old MacDonald had a Farm Education Pack
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their
picnic
Every Teddy Bear who's been good is sure of a treat
today
There's lots of marvellous things to eat and wonderful
games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees they'll hide and
seek as long as they please
Cos that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic.
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares and see them picnic
on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies will take
them home to bed
'Cause they're tired little Teddy Bears

But only four little ducks came back
Four little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away

But only three little ducks came back

But only two little ducks came back

Over the hills and far away

But none of those little ducks came back.

Wash our clothes, wash our clothes.
