The wonder of life…

For several years now, we have enjoyed the wonder of watching the live hatching of chicks. Children observed the miracle of them pecking and struggling their way out, then recovering in the incubator before rapidly developing into lively, fluffy chicks that were soon able to feed and drink for themselves. The process enriched and brought the children’s science learning of animal topics to life, where they learnt about the care of animals, growth, life cycles, diets, food chains and habitats.
