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.
Descriptions by P1
We then used our ICT skills to create a picture of a chick using Colour Magic.
We have missed the chicks over the weekend.
Today we talked about how they have changed so much in only two days and P1 wrote about it in their diaries.
They have got bigger and they have got some feathers now too!
Take a look at some diary entries below.
Due to our class visitors, we will have different homework for the next two weeks. All homework should be handed in in 2 weeks’ time on Friday 8th February.
1. Reading book
There will be no reading books sent home. Instead we ask you to choose a story or factual book at home or at the library to read together (It would be great if this included eggs, chicks and/or chickens).
2. Book Review
Complete a book review about your chosen book. Draw a detailed picture and write a sentence about your favourite part or the most interesting part.
3. Adjectives
Use the sheet provided to draw a picture of the eggs we have in class. Think about the different words you could use to describe them and write them around your picture. Now do the same for a chick.
4. Art and design task
Design and create either a colourful egg or a chick using any materials you like. You could draw and colour a picture, make a collage, make a model, create a computer picture – or anything else you can think of! Bring your creation to school on 8.2.19.
