Chick chick chick chick!

Another week filled with awe and wonder! The arrival of our eggs led to children's excited discussions about the possibilities which laid inside - chicks, spiders, crocodiles, snakes and a dinosaur! 
When the yellow and brown chicks hatched we were all delighted: 8 of the 10 hatched successfully and children have spent the week caring for them, cleaning, observing, listening to them and handling them inside and eventually out in the garden.
Children used information books and worked to created their own book to support understanding of the process of life and change and the life cycle of the chicks. Today, they returned to the farm in Essex but they leave their legacy in the rich learning and joy they brought us.
​Happy half term to you all!
