Primary 1 and 1/2

It has been a very exciting week in Primary 1 and 1/2! On Monday, our chicken eggs arrived and over the course of the week we have had the pleasure of seeing 8 little chicks hatch. We witnessed the chicks ‘pipping’ on Wednesday (where they started to peck to get out of the shell) and by Thursday we had 4 lively little chicks. The remaining chicks started pipping after lunch on Thursday afternoon and we found 4 more little chicks waiting to meet us on Friday morning!

We have learnt so much about chickens and how to care for them this week! We drew each stage in the life cycle of a chicken and wrote fact-files about chicks and chickens to display on the wall for any visitors to see.

We are looking forward to seeing how much the chicks have grown when we get back to school!
