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.
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.
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.

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.
We put more food in the bowl for the chicks. They were hungry.

Finlay has been reading about other animals. He found pictures of different birds and their eggs.
Kyle wrote about the lifecycle of a hen.
On Tuesday P1 thought about how to care for our eggs and chicks with Miss Cornish.
They made a Chick Charter so that P1, and all our visitors, know how to look at and care for the chicks.
Take a look.

Egg-citing, egg-cellent news from P1 chick watch today, here are some of our diary entries. Great job everyone!
Woohoo! We came to school this morning to find that two of our eggs have hatched. We have two little chicks getting used to life outside their eggs. The boys and girls (and teachers) are super excited and we have all enjoyed watching them this morning.
I checked the temperature of the incubator. It was 37.7, I checked the poster.
