Hatching Chicks

We were very lucky to have three chicks hatch out in class this term. After they had fluffed up in the incubator, they moved into the brooder where we watched them grow very quickly! By the end of the week, they had started growing their grown-up wing feathers and were ready to go home to Surrey Docks Farm, where you might like to visit them and watch them grow up!

Here is a photo of the chicks on their last day with us.

Book Day

On Book Day, we dressed up as our favourite book characters and enjoyed sharing with the class the books our characters appeared in. We then had a visit from Class 3 and read stories together.

See how many book characters you recognise in our photos!

During Book Week, we wrote our own endings for the story The Odd Egg by Emily Gravett. Here is our display, showing what might hatch out of the egg:

The Odd Egg

The Odd Egg by Emily Gravett is our new class text for this term. For Book Week, we have been making up our own endings for the story, thinking of wonderful ideas for what might be inside, and writing labels to describe them.

We have some real eggs incubating in the classroom too, and have been thinking about what could be growing inside. One of the eggs is green all over!

Some children have been doing some fantastic independent writing in their egg diaries, reminding us how to care for the eggs until they hatch.

We turned our role play area into a huge garden, to see what it would be like to be as small as an insect or a fairy. Can you imagine what it would be like?

Have a look through the gallery to see how busy we have been!
