Cracking Chicks Cause Much Delight

12 July 2018 (by admin)

News from Reception and Year 1 classrooms

On Monday this week we had a very special delivery. Two incubators arrived in school with some eggs and it was our job to look after them as they came into the world. The first few chicks started to hatch on Tuesday and more arrive on Wednesday. On Wednesday it was very exciting as a number hatched during the school day and there were large groups of pupils watching the chicks hatch at lunchtime. 

Once the chicks are strong enough they are transferred from the incubator into the cage to enjoy each others company and grow up together.
