What an amazing week we’ve had. Beyond chick fun we’ve celebrated a special birthday, bounced away at wacky world, practiced our letter recognition whilst learning about animals and their habitats at the zoo, met up with friends at soft play and of course our usual classes, arts & crafts and messy play fun at home 🥰 all of the children achieved new milestones in swimming and gymnastics and I’m so proud of how brave they are and how they persevere 😍

The baby chicks have left the building, what an amazing experience 🥹

The children have loved having them, helping to care for them and they all did so well handling them gently. They learned all about the life cycle of a hen, and recreated their own life cycle pictures, made their own chicks out of different shapes, and practiced basic maths using different baby chick pictures. School ready children have been learning the “ch” phoneme and learning packs have been filled with chick goodness.

We’ll definitely do this again!
