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

The chicks were drinking the water.

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.

Here are some of our diaries from day 4. We have 7 chicks now! They are all in their big blue brooder box.

Egg-citing, egg-cellent news from P1 chick watch today, here are some of our diary entries. Great job everyone!
Razan created a wonderful black pen drawing of the new arrivals. I think they like it.
Well done!
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.

Here is Daniel’s picture of the first chicks to hatch.
Here are some diary entries from day 2.
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.
