Our Favourite time of the year at Kindy

A few weeks ago we had a very special delivery from "Living eggs company"

 The chicken eggs arrived and were placed in the incubator as we watched in anticipation hoping to capture the tap tap tap of a chick trying to hatch.  

We have 10 eggs, for the week, the first night they slept over ) 4 hatched and we are excited to see what the week brings. By Friday we had 7 chickens hatched and we kept 4 for kindy. 

We are very lucky at Uxbridge to have experienced  this programme for a few years now with the children.  The children and also the teachers are very excited to arrive each morning and check out the incubator.  

Watch this space as we explore and help rear these chicks, to then venture outside to the pen when they are old enough and then possibly lay eggs for us before they head off to one of our families farms. 

This programme lets the children gain an understanding of a life cycle , experience caring for and nurturing a living creature, extend language and observation skills , and learn hands on.
