What a cracking start to Term 3!!!

We have some visitors to our learning studio this term. Below is short clip showing a snippet of one of the eggs hatching. We numbered the eggs so that we could tell which one had hatched and even tried to predict which number egg would hatch first! We had some very different ideas about what might come out of the egg. Could it be a crocodile? a duck? a chicken? What colour would the first creature be? We  were very clever in making connections with what we had experienced on our farm excursion. And then before we knew it the first egg began to hatch and all was revealed...a yellow baby chick was born! Egg number 8 had won! 





The chicks are very cute but they are also very useful in helping with our learning this term. Our inquiry unit is on 'Change' and so they have helped to ignite our thinking about what changes? Maybe you can help us find some other things that change at home!
