Our Hatching Chicks program has been a great success! Six of our chicks hatched, and the children have been excited to come in each morning to say hi to their new friends.
Through art, music, story and intentional teaching the children were excited to learn about chicks, and their life cycle. The children showed care and empathy towards the chicks, being gentle when patting and holding the chicks.
Having the chicks hatch and grow with us created curiosity amongst the children and motivation to show care for the environment and animals!
The children learnt how the an egg hatches, and the life cycle of the egg. This helps in learning about evolution, and about living things evolve over time. It’s a great entry to science week next week!
