As part of our farm topic we were lucky enough to have some eggs delivered to school for us to learn about the life cycle of a chicken.

When the eggs first   arrived we kept them warm in an incubator. After only a few days the first chicks began to hatch . It was amazing to watch.

Once the chicks had become fluffy and a bit stronger, the children in each class were able to have a go at holding them. We loved feeling their soft feathers. The children loved watching the chicks learn to move and flap their wings.
