Our Chicks have hatched!

This week we have been very excited about the arrival of 11 healthy and fascinating chicks hatching from our incubator! The children have enjoyed holding and caring for them.
They have also been very busy painting, drawing and writing about them and have made their own chick life-cycle wheels.
We hope you enjoy these photos...
