This week, the children had two very special visitors – Henrietta the Hen & Farmer Alice from Deen City Farm. They came to entrust the children with an important job – the care of 10 chick eggs which are now safely tucked up in an incubator in the classroom! Over the next three weeks, the children will ensure the eggs stay safe and warm as the chicks begin to grow and (hopefully!) hatch on day 21 of their incubation!
In other (far less exciting!) news, the children also learnt the trigraphs ‘ear’ and ‘air’:
Ranga was so excited about this – literally counting down the days till eggs arrived; up early on the day and could not wait to get the school :D. Great experience!
Guy also was so happy to see real chicks hatch. What a special experience! Thank you for everything you do to enrich the children’s understanding of the world.
