A Ram's horn ....

Tracy took her dog for a walk and came across a 'Ram's horn'. She brought it into nursery for the children to look at and explore.
This morning we have looked on google to find pictures of rams with horns, we also looked for rams who had lost a horn to see if we could find which ram it belonged too!
