Primary 1 were asked to complete an Art and Design homework task; they were asked to design and create either a colourful egg or a chick using any materials. The results were amazing, so much variety. We had models, posters, pictures, Lego and even an egg shaped biscuit!
What a talented lot you all are!
To see all these fabulous pieces of art, check out the gallery.
Lillie brought in a book for us to read, The Ugly Duckling.
Thank you Lillie, we really enjoyed it.
The chicks are now settling into their new homes; primary one will miss them lots but are happy to see them go somewhere they will have much more room to roam and get up to even more mischief. We have all really enjoyed the experience and we hope you have enjoyed following our journey on our blog.
Here are some of our day 10 diaries.
Well done Primary 1, we are so proud of you all!
Today P1 all had a turn to hold a chick in their hands. The chicks were a bit wriggly sometimes but P1 were very gentle and careful again. Very Responsible Citizens! Please read some diary entries below and take a look at the photos in the gallery.
We made some hatching chick moving pictures. The girls wanted to share their work with you and tell you how we made them.
First, we coloured in with crayon.
Next, we cut it out.
Then, we decorated and coloured in the egg.
Last, we cut it out.

Our chicks are getting more and more mischievous every day. This afternoon the brooder box had to cleaned out as Bella, Finn, Batman, Robyn, Ellie, Chippy and George had made such a mess.
We had a very exciting afternoon with the chicks. P1 all had a turn to gently touch and stroke them. The chicks were a bit nervous but all of the boys and girls were very careful to be quiet, slow and gentle with them. Unfortunately, we were concentrating on these things so hard we did not take any pictures! Don’t worry though, you can read about it and see some diary pictures below.
Today our class photographer caught Amirah and Robbie having a little look in on the chicks and Evie and Katie Anna fed them.
I was pouring the food in the bowl for the chicks.

As part of Internet Safety Day P1 read the story Chicken Clicking by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross. Here is a summary of the story and what we learned from a group of children from P1.
A chicken was clicking on a computer without asking an adult and ended up talking online to a big, bad fox. This story reminds us to never meet with strangers we have spoken to online. It also reminds us to always ask an adult before using a computer or the internet. Be safe on the internet and always tell an adult.
Over the weekend the chicks got a little bit bigger, they started to get feathers instead of the soft fluff, their wings are getting bigger and they are starting to jump around. Their beaks are getting bigger too and they are getting noisier as well. They are starting to use their wings like they are trying to fly.

We then used our ICT skills to create a picture of a chick using Colour Magic.
