Our chicks have grown

We said goodbye to our chicks today and Farmer Gerard came to our classroom to show us a hen from his farm that is almost ready to lay her own eggs. We were sad to say goodbye to the chicks bit we are happy that the chicks are returning to see their families again and will have lots more space to run around and grow in.

Visiting chicks

We had some very important guests in our classroom... the eggs have hatched and the baby chicks have grown so much over the weekend! Today they came to our classroom and we were very excited to welcome them!

Releasing the butterflies

We have been busy learning all about the life cycle of the butterfly and the boys and girls have waited patiently for the caterpillars to form their chrysalis and then waited patiently for them to emerge from their cocoons as butterflies! 

We were so excited when they came out of their cocoons and once all five butterflies had come out, we released them!

We sang goodbye to them and we will be looking carefully in the sky to see if we can see them again soon!
