Chicks Back To Visit Boghall Primary

Last week Boghall Primary had a visit from three chickens. These were some of the chicks which had hatched in our school as part of the Living Eggs project. When the chicks are hatched, the school tries to find homes for them. This year we had ten eggs and they all successfully hatched. Luckily homes were found for all ten. Miss Arkless already has some chicks and agreed to take another three this year. She brought them back in and all pupils had the chance to see how much they had grown in a few short weeks. We are looking forward to finding out if they will lay any eggs of their own.

Easter Chicks at Boghall!

P3B loved having their chance to hold the baby chicks last week. The chicks were at Boghall as part of the living eggs project. The unhatched eggs are delivered and are kept in an incubator in school. Everyone can then log in and  follow their progress on glow in school and from home. Many pupils watched as some of the chicks hatched. After a few days, each class gets the chance to have the chicks visit their classroom and everyone has the chance to hold a chick. Pupils were taught how to hold the chicks safely and they had lots of questions about what happens to the chicks and Rory asked “Where does the mum who laid the eggs live?” We can’t wait until next year when more chicks will hatch at Boghall!
