Life-Cycle Of a Chicken

This half-term, the Early Years children have been exploring different life cycles. After learning about the plant life cycle, they have now been focusing on the life cycle of a chicken.
​
At the start of the week, the children were introduced to a very exciting addition to the classroom—eggs in an incubator. They observed the eggs carefully each day, discussing what might be happening inside. Today, the children were thrilled to witness the eggs hatch, watching in fascination as tiny chicks emerged.

Throughout this experience, the children have shown curiosity and enthusiasm, engaging in discussions about the changes taking place. They have also been learning how to care for the chicks, showing great responsibility as they help ensure they are warm, safe, and comfortable. This hands-on experience has deepened their understanding of life cycles and the importance of looking after living things.
