The Runaway Chapati

Silent Conversation

We’ve been predicting what might happen in our new text this morning. I was very impressed with how Class 6 made links with other stories they were familiar with to help with these predictions.

Day 4 – Our little chicks 🐥🐥🐥🐥

The chicks have now been moved into a brooder box. They have settled beautifully into their new home.

The children have shown real care and consideration for our little chicks, which has been really lovely to see.

We are so happy watching them grow 🐥🥰

All tired out….

Nursery got their chicks home to roost today in our Nursery building. We have excitedly watched them hatch over the past week, tying in with our learning of the hen life cycle. The children have loved to watch the process and are enjoying watch the chicks grow and develop. I think it got all too much for them at lunch time and they huddled under the lamp to keep warm and rest.

Day 3 in the Norton Incubator…

The chicks have started to hatch! We came into school this morning to find six chicks had made their way out into the world. Two more have joined them this morning too which the children were able to watch.

We’ll be transferring them into their brooder boxes this afternoon so they can enjoy more freedom and allow the other chicks to hatch in peace.

Day 2 in the Norton Incubator…

We’ve noticed some of the eggs wobbling and watched the first crack appear… The children have loved taking care of the chicks so far and can’t wait to meet the first one that hatches. We’ve set up a video recording over night in the hope that we can catch it on camera 🐣.

We have some special visitors…

The children in EYFS are very excited by the arrival of 14 chicks that are two to three days from hatching!

We are going to be watching them very closely to see if we can see any eggs with cracks or wobbling meaning the chicks are starting to make their way out into the world. It’s going to be great fun looking after them over the next two weeks!

Red Nose Day Fun!

Nursery have enjoyed a day of Red Nose Day themed fun and learning. We have used our motor skills to fish for red items in the water tray, decorated Red Nose Biscuits, designed, cut and made superhero masks, made funny red rose faces on sticks and taken part in a special red nosed themed crew with the parachute practising our teamwork skills. All of the children looked amazing in their red clothes and especially designed T-shirts for the school competition, raising money for such a good cause.
