What an eggciting week we have had in Nursery. The children were so happy when our eggs arrived in the incubator and waited patiently for them to hatch. On Wednesday the wait was over and 6 chicks were hatched. The children have been eggcellent and very calm and gentle as they have watched the chicks and held them. They talked about the variety of colours and the noises they made. We have been looking at books about the lifecycle of a chicken and using key words such as ‘hatch’, ‘crack’ and ‘feathers’ to describe what we have observed over the week. Next week we will be naming our chicks and this weekend you and your children can have a think.

The children have also been doing some fantastic observational drawings of the chicks and one child even read them a story.
