On Monday Miss Howells bought an egg into school. We talked about what might be inside the egg and why, lots of thought that it was a chick! Miss Howells' egg was just a normal egg with a white and a yolk but during the day we had a special delivery of eggs in an incubator.
Across the week the eggs have hatched and now we have 8 chicks, six girls and two boys. "The boy chicks are yellow and the girl chicks are brown." We have enjoyed looking at the chicks in learning through play and lots of us have also done some chick writing.
In Literacy we watched a video of a chick hatching. "The chick pecks the egg with its beak and pushes with its feet." We talked about how humans and chicks are similar and different and drew and labelled a picture of a chick.
In Maths have been learning about time. We looked at the big hand and little hand and practised making and reading o'clock times. Today we saw what we could do in a minute, we touched our toes, jumped and sang the alphabet song. Miss Howells' group jumped 109 times, Mrs Hyder's group jumped 95 times and Mr Sullivan's group jumper 145 times in a minute. We were very tired afterwards!
In PE we have been busy practising our May Dance. We have learnt all the steps and now we are putting it to the music.
This weeks Learning Owl is Theo. He has been chosen for his fantastic attitude towards his writing. Well done Theo, have a super weekend with Hootie!
For our home learning this week we need to look for clocks at home and in our local environment. We can take photographs or draw pictures.
How exciting to have real chicks at school! Sam has enjoyed watching them this week and says he likes listening to the cheep cheep sound. He can't wait to stroke them when they are a bit bigger. Enjoy the long weekend.
