On Monday the children in Nursery and Reception arrived at school to find some eggs had been delivered.  They were in a special machine called an incubator.  These were not eggs to eat, they were going to hatch!

The children watched in anticipation for signs of the eggs moving or cracking.  On Wednesday morning we arrived to see that four chicks had hatched.  The next day four more had joined them.  We then moved the chicks into the brooder box.  It has a light bulb in it to keep the chicks warm.
