Reception have been spending the last two weeks looking after chicks. We received eggs and watched them in the incubator until they hatched. The children learnt about a chickens life cycle, names for other baby animals and that the yellow chicks were boys and the brown chicks were girls. We were so inspired by this that we used the chicks to learn about tally charts to vote on names for our chicks, in our literacy lessons we learnt about the story “Dora’s eggs” and used wrote describing words using our phonics and we also made chick pictures and explored nest making.
