Can sheep realy read numbers? Yr5-6 Teaching Theme

Theme's entry point video shows sheep with numbers painted on them and then asks 'Can sheep read numbers?' this introduces topic with a &'Big Idea&'; Idea is to get pupils to think about how animals like sheep and lambs are different although this difference may not always be obvious to us - hence lambs look alike to shepherd and clearly could not put any separated lambs and mothers together without giving them all corresponding numbers. Video then explains how sheep have a much keener sense of smell than humans and it is this which ewes use to identify their lambs.
