Home for the week-end!

Our 7 chicks have spent the week-end in Mrs McGeary's house!
She is minding them for us because we didn't want them to be lonely in school when we weren't there!
We can't wait to see them all again on Monday!

All doing well in Mrs McGeary's house

Happy chicks!

'Hatch 4 Schools'

Our class are very lucky to have 

'Hatch 4 Schools' 

in our classroom for the next two weeks.

We will watch eggs hatching in our incubator

and then care for the new chicks in the brooder.

Each pupil will have responsibility for caring for the chicks and ensuring they have everything they need.

It's so exciting to watch and observe our chicks hatch and grow!
