Here are some photos of our chicks on their first days of arrival!

Hi all,

I tried posting this before  but it didn’t send!  Here are some pictures from Reverend Keeley’s visit.

Reverend Keeley was so excited to come to Elm Park as our behaviour was amazing at the church before Christmas.

In RE, the children had been writing questions about Christianity to ask Reverend Keeley.  They asked some super questions!

Today in Maths, Year 1 were learning to turn through a half turn and full turn.

They played a game of Simon Says.  The leader of the game gave instructions e.g. Walk three steps forward and turn a full turn.

This concept is difficult for most children to understand so we need all the help you can give us to ensure they know how to move their own bodies and objects through a full turn (360 degrees), a half turn (180 degrees) and eventually a quarter turn (90 degrees).  The children do not need to know about degrees of movement- that’s just for us grown ups 🙂

Happy turning!

Good afternoon all!

We have some great news! One of our chicks has hatched!!

We think it is a girl because she looks quite brown but we will have to wait and see when it is fully dry.

We will keep you updated as more chicks hatch, but don’t forget to check out the live stream- you may see one hatch live!!!! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rsAVZWCMNJZ

Hi all,

Yesterday when the children went home, The Living Egg company brought 11 eggs in an incubator to our school.  She helped us set it up with the correct temperature and amount of water.  You can watch the live stream by following this link or by clicking on our Facebook page and following the link from there.

The lady said they would be hatching by Wednesday but we already have 2 little cracks in 2 eggs where the chicks are pipping out of the egg using their egg tooth!

We will update you with photographs and extra knowledge when they begin to break out!

We are hoping that all 11 eggs will hatch, but we are guaranteed between 7 and 8 eggs.  Last year all 10 eggs hatched so we have our fingers crossed!

The children will be watching the live stream on the interactive whiteboard while they complete their work and visiting the eggs/ chicks as often as possible.

How exciting!

Mrs Toms
