New additions to EYFS 🐣🐥

This week we have welcomed 15 new, fluffy arrivals to EYFS 🐥

The eggs arrived earlier in the week, and we watched the incubator in anticipation to see if we could see any movement or cracks appearing.

After a couple of days, we came to school one morning to find that some of the chicks had hatched overnight and were starting to fluff up in the warmth of the incubator! We could hear them cheeping and we could not believe that they had come out of something so small!

That same day, 5 more eggs hatched and we were lucky enough to watch some of them happen in front of our eyes! We had some visitors from other crews in school – everyone has been so excited! The following day, the remaining 5 eggs had all hatched too and we now had 15 new arrivals to look after. We had to wait until they were fully dry and fluffed up before transferring them to their brooder box.

We made sure that the brooder box was nice and cosy for them, switching on the heat lamp and making it comfortable, as well as sorting water and food out for them. Since then, we have been watching them getting to grips with their first few days out of their eggs. They are so cute and we all love them so much! Now that they are a little stronger, we will be able to hold them if we want to! We can’t wait to spend the next few days with them before they go off to their new homes with some of the very lovely staff from our school! 🐥

Citizenship Crew 👫🍎🚛

As part of ‘National Healthy Eating Week’ and to celebrate the countdown to Paris 2024, Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB are challenging young people aged 5–14 to get creative and design a lorry that inspires people to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. Therefore, in crew this morning we all designed our own lorries! We thought about writing, colours and suitable images to capture peoples’ attention. At the end of the session we critiqued each others and offered notices, wonders and praises! Mrs Pashley has also been tasked with choosing a winner 🌟 from each crew in LKS2! All shall be revealed in crew tomorrow…
