Our first chick hatched last night and we are trying to think of a name for it.Can you help us please! The chick is starting to become fluffy and is a light yellow colour. One of the eggs has got a crack in the shell so it may hatch over night. If you want to see the chicks tonight go on to Glow at home.

Our 11 chick eggs arrived safely yesterday and are currently snuggled up in their incubator at the front office.
The programme designed by Living Eggs (see www.livingeggs.co.uk for more information) aims to promote awe and wonder across the curriculum at all levels. Over the next two weeks the children from nursery to primary 7 will be learning about the life cycle of a chicken by a variety of class work and will provide the children an opportunity to see chicks actually hatching from their eggs.
By next week the chicks will be old enough to be held and handling sessions will be made available to children during school hours and to parents during Parents’ Evening. If you can’t wait until then, or you would like to follow the progress and watch the chicks hatch LIVE! a link is available through our Glow page. You will find a tab on the main page called “LIVE Chicken Hatching”.
We would like to thank the PTA for donating money to the school and making this exciting school project possible.
Well everyone, it’s a bit later than we may have expected but 2013 has seen its first snow day. Hopefully everyone will have a safe day. Don’t forget there are activities to keep you busy on GLOW and the school blog. Perhaps you could visit your class page and leave a comment on what you have been doing today. Or even better, email the school a photo and we will upload it to GLOW for everyone else to see.
