The children in EYFS have been fascinated by our eggs, which have now hatched into chicks. This has provided many opportunities for discussion around growth, change and life cycles. The children have been especially excited to handle the chicks now they are a bit bigger! Our chicks are from The Happy Chick Company, who are an ethical company that rehome 100% of the chicks after collection from school.
