Dear Mattingley families and friends,
The Chapple room have
had some baby chicks in their classroom that have just hatched from their
eggs. We decided throughout the week we would go to the Chapple room to look at
them, hold them and learn more about them. These are some of the comments that
the children have made over the week.
Isla – It’s gonna (going to) fly
away
Harry BB – What’s it saying?
Poppy – I think he’s saying I want
to fly (notices the chick trying to flap its wings)
Kennedy – It does this (shakes her
head from left to right quickly)
Robert – He did a poo!
Kennedy He’s a cheeky monkey
Harrison – he did a poo it comes
out of his bottom
William G – I like chicks!
Dominic – I like chickens!
Ashlynn – Sometimes I’m a bit
scared of chickens but I’m not scared any more
Isla – I'm scared of dogs now
Poppy – My granny is getting new
chicks to cuddle
Antonio – Chickens come out of
eggs
Amelia – It’s fluffy!
Poppy - And its eggs are for cakes!
Wolf – They are adorable!
Isla – I love cute chickens,
chicky, chicky chickens
Romesh – They are yellow
Dominic – I can touch them
Sophie – You can’t lift them out
only for the adults
Ashvin – the chickens need light to
see what they are doing
Sophie - and it makes them nice and
warm so the chickens will like the light if it keeps them nice and warm
Romesh – They drink water
Wolf – And they eat seeds
Antonio – And they are yellow
Ashvin – looks its sleeping
Harry H – Chickens lay eggs
Romesh - Maybe the mumma
chicken should come out
Miss Shakey – The mummy chicken is
in Hindmarsh Island on a farm
We look forward to watching them change as they grow and
helping to take care of them when they move to their new home in our outdoor
environment. Please feel free to go into the Chapple room to have a look at our
beautiful chicks.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend,
Coral and Kimberley
