Today, Hazelnuts and Cherries had an egg-stremly big surprise!
We found out that we were going to hatch some chicks! Mrs Hough talked to us about the incubator and then we saw the twelve eggs that have been given to us. We can only hatch seven eggs, so three Cherry children and three Hazel children were picked to choose an egg. All the eggs were very different! They were different sizes and colours and come from a variety of breeds of chicken. As Miss Grant has not hatched chicks before, she got to pick the last egg!

Now the countdown begins! We have learnt that the incubator will act as a mother hen, keeping the eggs warm but also letting them have some "cool time" (like when the Mummy hen goes to eat and leaves her eggs for a bit). We have learnt that the eggs should hatch in three weeks/ 21 days. What a great way to help us learn about time... Stay tuned!
