The Farmer's Dilemma

The farmer must take a hen, a bag of grain and a fox across a river in a boat.   The boat has only two places i.e. one for the farmer and one other.  
The difficulty is that the fox and hen cannot be left unsupervised, nor can the hen and bag of grain.                                                                                                                                     How can the Farmer get himself and his grain,hen and fox safely across the river . How many trips will it take him?

Hi Ms.Whynne, Mary and first and second class. it took the farmer 4 trips. first bring the hen. then bring the grain and bring the hen back over. you then bring the fox and come back for the hen. easy peasy lemon squeezy. by the way i loved the treats from the cake sale.
