3rd class are mathematicians!

Active Week

We had a fantastic week for Active week. We had a hula hoop competition, teachers versus students basketball match, jersey day, sports day at Bray Emmet's and everyone brought their bikes to school for a bike workshop. We had so much fun and the weather was beautiful!



Time to Say Goodbye to Our Chicks.

As we are coming to the end of the school year, it was time to send our chicks off to their new home. We had such a great time looking after them and watching them grow. We've learned so much!

We are very sad to see them go but we know they are going to be very happy in their new home.

5 Days Old!

Our chicks are doing really well and are already growing so quickly! We were delighted to see that a fourth egg had hatched over the weekend, so we now have 4 very healthy and happy chicks!

 Our newest arrival, Chip...

They love to sleep under the warmth of a lamp and on the hot water bottle.

Ms. Healy was on chick-sitting duties over the weekend...

 

We had to change our black chick's name to Penguin because, as he got fluffier, he started to look more and more like one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hatching Day!

We arrived into school this morning to two fuzzy, brown chicks! The chick that began hatching yesterday emerged overnight, along with a second one! We had another surprise then this morning when a third one hatched before our eyes! It really is amazing!!!

This chick had just popped out of its egg in these photo!

 Sleepy chicks!

We were very excited to spread the news!

 

First Signs of Life!

Exactly 21 days after we put our eggs into the incubator we have heard the first signs of life. One of our chicks began cheeping from inside the egg!!

Below is a video in which you can hear the cheeping and see small pieces of cracked shell on the floor of the incubator beside the egg. It can take some time for the chick to come all of the way out of the egg so we still have to wait a while and hope that it comes out healthy!
