Chickens ✅

As part of our farming topic we read a farm story this morning. The Great Chicken Mystery. It’s all about how some chickens go missing and foxy ( who’s a vegetarian) gets blamed. He finds out the chickens are escaping because they want a bigger home.



After discussing how farmers look after chickens, we went to the allotment to see the school chickens. Miss Irwin told us how she hatched some of the chickens in class Jonah. You can check the old blogs to see more details about them. Just search chickens. 





We looked at where they lived, what they are and drank and how they were kept safe. Then we let some out to have a close look. We really enjoyed looking at them and learning about how to keep chickens. 





This afternoon we got chance to enjoy our topic by being farmers. We made food for the lambs, tidied up the farm and re-stocked the farm shop with our new vegetables. Thanks for that mummies. 





Chicken Interviews

This week we finally got chance to interview the prospective new owners of the chicks. We can only keep 4 when they get big or they won’t fit in the house.

So we practised our interview skills and got our questions ready.

Then we interviewed 3 sets of potential owners. The Moores, Mr O’Leary and the Stanmores.

Unfortunately we decided that Mr O’Leary was not successful in his interview, as he wanted to eat the chicks! However the Moores and Stanmores were. Congratulations! 🙂

The chickens we be rehoused soon.

The Egg Diaries

Today Miss Irwin brought the eggs into school for us to put them in the incubator. Some of the eggs were big and some were small. They had different coloured shells some were even green!

We had a talk about how the incubator would warm up the eggs and hopefully chicks will grow inside them.

It’s going to take 21 days for the chicks to hatch!
