A Farm-Tastic Week in Pre-School! ????????????** This week, our Pre-Schoolers have been singing along to the classic rhyme **“Old MacDonald Had a Farm”** — and what a week it’s been! They’ve been learning all about how to care for living animals, exploring what animals need to stay happy and healthy. Our little learners have also been getting clever with **matching activities** — pairing up handprints, shapes, and even colourful sponges! ????????✨ And let’s not forget the **mark making fun**! The children loved using farm animals to role play and make muddy tracks and marks, sparking their imaginations and creativity. It’s been a week full of discovery, fun, and farmyard adventures! ### Old McDonald [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125752000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125752000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125756000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125756000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125803000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125803000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125831000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_125831000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130326000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130326000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130353000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130353000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130425000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130425000_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130435000_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/old-mcdonald/20251003_130435000_iOS.jpg) [ Row, Row, Row your boat](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-10-01-21-29-00-row-row-row-your-boat) [Anglo-Saxon Settlements ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-10-02-15-04-00-anglo-saxon-settlements) ![Delph Side Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(10).png) #### Delph Side Community Primary School Eskdale Tanhouse Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 6ED 01695 721881 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted Report](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-report) - [Term Dates](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/Delph-Side-Community-Primary-School-584597861558880/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/delphside/) © Copyright 2018–2026 Delph Side Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
