Reception - Understanding Our World - Visiting The Chicks!
Our classroom was bursting with excitement (and a few adorable little peeps!) this week as the wonderful Reception class came to visit our newly hatched baby chicks over in Pre-School. Their little faces lit up as they carefully peered into the brooder, their eyes wide with wonder at the tiny, fluffy creatures wobbling around. We talked about how to be gentle and quiet around the chicks, and the children were so incredibly well-behaved, showing real kindness and curiosity. There were lots of "oohs" and "aahs" as the chicks cheeped and explored their temporary home. We even got to see a few brave chicks take their first tentative steps! It was a fantastic opportunity for the Reception children to learn about where food comes from, the life cycle of a chicken, and the importance of caring for living things. We answered lots of brilliant questions, from "Are they soft?" (yes, very!) to "What do they eat?" (special chick crumb, of course!). It was such a joy to share this special experience with the younger children and witness their fascination with nature.
