Just before lunch it was circle time and we gathered to sing some action songs. The facilitator changed it up this week and added 'Old MacDonald' to the repertoire. I was disappointed when the first animal chosen by one of the kids was a horse (I haven't got that one down yet). As we sang the second round the facilitator paused as we came to the part "and on his farm he had a ......" a little girl next to me shouted out cow and the facilitator continued "E-I-E-I-O , with a... and that is when I bellowed out a loud, deep moooooooo while everyone else said "oink".
