Chicks!
Posted: Apr 20, 2020 by: Sian Peel (speel) on: Acorn Class
We have had another very busy half term in Class 1. We continued to learn about different animals and their homes. We have been exploring the jungle to see which animals live there and then we also looked at animals that live in the Savannah and finally some underwater exploration to find animals that live in the sea! We have had some fantastic songs and stories to help us learn about these different animals and places. One of our favourites was 'Down in the Jungle' which we listened to on Youtube as well as using the story sack so we could have masks and soft toys as well. We have also enjoyed the ‘Elmer the Elephant’ story and we were busy making lots of different coloured and textured art work to make a big Elmer for a display.
We were also really excited about our special delivery in March! On Tuesday 10th March our 9 little eggs arrived in an incubator. We all had a good look at them but they weren't really very exciting until the following day when we could hear some cheeping if we were quiet and one of the eggs had a little crack in the shell. This one hatched at lunchtime and was very tired. The next day we had 5 more chicks, some brown ones and a black one. The last 2 hatched over the weekend and by Monday they were all running round in the new larger living space. We were able to stroke them very gently and watch them close up. The children were fascinated and it was amazing experience adding greatly to our learning about different animals.
