For the second year running, we ordered chicks as part of our project on Spring and Growth. We marked the wing of each chick with a different coloured felt tip pen and the chidren named them Fluffy, Sunny and Ginger. We weighed them and recorded weights daily on a chart and we took photos of their growth and development.		We initially measured each one against a Pritt Stick and recorded weight and height at the end of three weeks. The children fed them daily and helped to clean out the cage once a week. A member of staff took them home at weekends. They were used throughout the school to support Science - and worksheets at different levels of ability were designed for use with groups of children.
Paintings, drawings and models were created. They were no longer fluffy and good to hold!		By the end of the three weeks they were large and quite smelly. We were glad to return them

Our topic for the autumn term was Time. We learned about the hours on the clock and here is a picture of our display.

We enjoyed playing the game what time is it Mr. Wolf?
