A delightful story, by a talented portuguese writer, which I read with my 3rd and 4th grade pupils in order to introduce the Easter festivity.
Poor Mrs Hen! She has already laid a thousand eggs and all of them were taken away from her... until the day she decides to run away to a nearby wood. There, she makes a cozy nest for the egg she lays, but what a surprise when she comes back from her walk for food - she finds not 1, but 5 colourful eggs! What an unusual family she eventually gets!But no matter how "different" her children are - a crocodile, a parrot, a snake, an ostrich and a chick -, she loves them all equally!
Have a look at the "mysterious Easter eggs" which my pupils produced as an arts and crafts follow-up activity...
Another story about "strange"eggs... Meg's eggs is one of several titles in the Meg and Mog series about a witch (Meg) and her cat (Mog). In this story another of Meg's spells goes wrong when the eggs she's cooking for supper hatch out as... dinosaurs! As a follow-up activity, besides the "eggs" topic, perfect for Easter time, you can also get your students to discover more about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. There's a great animated cartoon for kids dealing this topic on Panda Channel "The Dinosaurs train". Have a look at the trailer on this link link
