Our chicks are getting so big so quickly!! Each day we have been to visit our chicks and each day we have noticed they are getting bigger and changing. They are now big enough for us to get them out and have a hold and a pat;
“He pecked out” Marcus informed us,
“A chicken came out of egg” said Eden,
“Chicken sound cheep, cheep” said Stella as we listened to the noise the chicks were making,
“Nice and soft” said Spencer,
“He’s flying!” squealed Kristian with excitement as the chick flapped around the rug.
We have been practicing being gentle with the chicks by using one finger to pat them with. We have also created images of chicks back in the classroom using paint, collage materials and black markers.
Kind regards,
Jess, Kerry, Hayley and Pippa

Dear Mead Parents,
The children have enjoyed visiting the chicks this week, and observing the changes that have taken place since last week. We have had lots of discussions about the chicks and read books to gather information. Some children have chosen to paint pictures of the chicks and decorate their paintings with feathers. Others have made clay models of the chicks.
"Where do baby chicks come from?" asked Sebastian.
"From the farm," Gabe answered.
"No, they come from eggs," Tommi corrected.
"And the eggs come from the farm," Gabe said.
"There's one black and lots of yellow ones," Ella told everyone.
"The chickens made the eggs," Tommi said.
"They make them by eating," Tommi suggested.
"They hatch from the top and they use it from their beaks," Jack J offered.
"Chickens lay eggs for us," Sebastian told us.
"It just pushed its legs and bottom out," Ella described.
Best wishes,
Emma M, Susan and Emma G
Cooper
The Cooper children have been fascinated by our little chicks at the ELC. Everyday they check them and notice how much they are growing. At meal times the children wave to the chicks and are delighted that they watch them eating their fruit and lunch! We got the chicks out for a little walk on the rug and the children watched and gently patted them...
“They can fly out” said Emerson noticing the chicks jumping up.
“They’re really tickly” said Alyssa.
“They’re really soft” said William.
“Cheep, cheep” went Alex.
“They have tummies and a head and a mouth” said Bailey.
“Tails” said Alec.
“Feet” noticed Felix.
“They look so soft” said Sophie.
“They can fly” said Finn.
“They got fluffy skin” described Alec.
Back in our classroom the children used paints, collage materials and goggly eyes to create pictures of the fluffy chicks. It's been amazing to see how much new chicks can grow and change in just two weeks!
Kind regards,
Ali and Rosalie

It is almost the last week of term! The children have really enjoyed watching the chickens hatch and grow! Each day we have a turn at holding the chicks and the children have learnt to be very gentle and careful around them.
“One is cracking out!” said Nicholas excitedly “The heart is beating already” said Ashraf as the chicken hatched out of the egg “I see it’s feathers” exclaimed Max C excitedly “It has a beak already” stated Blake “Two have hatched and one is beeping” said Lucas as he listened carefully “It’s trying to fly already” observed Nathaniel as the chick hopped around the circle “They eat a lot of food” added Jesse “I can see that one has wings growing” said Charlie
We have also been exploring 3D shapes, identifying them in our environment and constructing our own shapes with the connecting straws. Have a look at our photos on the wall of our amazing creations! We look forward to seeing you at Sports Day next Thursday…..be sure to bring your running shoes!
Edgerley
What a big week we’ve had this week in Edgerley. We loved caring for our chicks and were excited to bring them out into the big playground so that we could observe and draw them. We worked together to create an ambulance for us to play in. We observed how light travels through transparent materials and worked at the beading table to match numerals to amounts. Come and see our number work on the wall.
Kind Regards
