Since Friday, the chicks have grown so much.  They don’t sit still on our laps anymore, they run, climb and try to fly!

The chicks have even started to grow feathers.

As this week is science week Nursery made some flying superheroes. We decided that we could use balloons and talked about if we blew the balloon up and let it go the superhero would fly. We then raced our flying superheroes to see who’s superhero went the furthest.

We have also been busy practicing our pencil grip and our writing for our new sensory area coming soon in our playground!

Today Nursery were Superheroes completeing an obstacle course to save the teddy bear!

We worked on our Physcial Development by jumping, running, kicking and crawling underneth!

We had lots of fun.

After all the waiting and watching for cracks to appear… the eggs started to hatch

When the children came into school on Wednesday they had 7 very cute chicks.  The children were very excited.

Today, we moved the chicks out of the incubator into a brooder box, where the chicks ave more space to move, food, water, and a heat lamp to keep them warm.

We even got the chicks out of the brooder box for a little play and so they could start to get to know us all.

The chicks were very tired after all that playing.  When they went back into the brooder box they all went fast asleep.

This week Nursery have been looking at all things Spring!

We went on a Spring walk using our magnifying glasses and binoculars looking all around our school. We found lots of interesting things such as new flowers and ducks on the pond.

We then came inside and had a look at some flowers. We talked about how they smelt, what they felt like and the colours we could see. We were excellent at using our describing words!

On Monday afternoon Reception class had a very ‘EGG-citing’ delivery into their classroom.

It was an incubator with 8 chicken eggs inside.

Today, the children have been using their observational skills to look for cracks in the eggs…a few cracks appeared throughout the day.

Maybe….tomorrow we may have some chicks!  We will have to wait and see….
