Farm vs Robot

We like to talk about Zoo animals and Farm animals in consecutive weeks so comparisons can be drawn: where they live, would you have it in your house, what is it's job, etc.  Today in the Caterpillar class, comparisons were between the Robots the children created and the poor little farm animals in the barn.  As the robots moved over to investigate the barn, the door opened and the cows, pigs & horses scared the daylights out of them!  Robots ran all the way across the rug before stopping to take a breath.  It was an unexpected event in our morning.
