Wednesday 10th April
The chicks are hatching! We have had lots of excitement today as the chicks have started to hatch after patiently waiting for 21days while they have been in the incubator.
Thursday 11th April
Our little family has grown today. 3 more chicks hatched overnight and another during lunchtime today much to the excitement of the children who have enthusiastically named them. Welcome to the world little Fluffy, Cheep Cheep, Dandy, Daisy and Parker!
We had lots of fun at The Giant’s Lair in search of charms that Myrtle the trickster fairy had to try and waken up the sleeping giant Slieve Gullion!
This month we have had lots of fun learning and exploring many different things about Spring and young animals.
When out on a Spring walk around school we looked at the beautiful flowers beginning to grow and some of them smelt lovely. We then made our own lavender scented play dough using lavender leaves. We manipulated the dough in different ways to make flowers for a flower garden.
We had lots of fun making a gift for our Mummy for Mother’s Day. We decorated a jam jar with tissue paper and sparkly gems, carefully drew a picture for a gift tag and then chose some flowers to put into our lovely vase just for our Mummy. We were very excited to give it to her as she is so good to us and very special.
One of the children brought in some special hens eggs from the farm for us to look after. We very carefully put them in an incubator. The incubator keeps the eggs nice and warm and turns them just like Mummy hen as the little chick grows inside. We have a calendar and are counting down the sleeps until the chicks hatch. It is very exciting and we can’t wait!
