In early February, an incubator with seven eggs was delivered to the school by Nore Valley Park. Each class was given an educational talk about the development and life cycle of a chicken and the hatching process. For 21 days we watched our eggs in the incubator and waited with egg-citement for something to happen.
On day 21, the eggs beagn to hatch. Once each chick hatched we left it in the incubator for a few hours to rest and dry out. After this time, and when it was strong enough it was placed into the brood box which had a heat pad in it to keep it warm.
We held a competition to name our adorable new arrivals.There was much excitement as we welcomed Martha, Jerry, The Yoker and Oreo to our school.
