Excellent Eggs

Jean-Paul welcomes us to Oxfordshire and shows us how eggs are laid, collected and packed, ready for the shops

Key learning points are:

  • How eggs are formed
  • The components of an egg
  • Why eggs are good for us
  • Where most of the eggs we eat come from

 

Pupils will also get the chance to ask Jean-Paul about eggs.
