Year 2 loved looking after the chicks in their class. They enjoyed watching them hatch in their incubator and grow (very quickly). The children observed how the chicks got bigger, growing more prominent feathers and larger wings and taller legs. The children were amazed as they hopped around trying to fly. Our chick monitors did a great job of caring for our chicks before we said goodbye to them and returned them to their home.
The children designed a run for the chicks, when they were big enough, and built toys for the chicks to play with.
