Easter Eggs

EASTER WITH THE HENS

 

We have had a wonderful term with our Wicor Chickens and all the classes

have now had a turn to look after them. 

They have coped with wind, rain and very icy weather, and the other day I watched them all lined up, basking in the hot sunshine!

They are so happy that for the last three weeks they have ALL laid an egg every day, so do the maths....

 

(7x8=?)x3=?

 

That's a lot of eggs!

 

 

 

Some of the Year 3 children have been finding out how to 'blow' an egg, to get the insides out and decorate them.

 

 

 First, Mrs Coles made a hole in

                               both ends with a sharp needle.                                

  

 

We then had lots of fun blowing the albumen ('white part') out through the hole..........

                                 .................. followed by the yolk ('yellow part').
                                                                    It was yucky!

Mrs Kimber had a go, too.

              

When we had washed and dried them, we had a good time designing and doing our decorations, threading a line through to hang them from, and adding jewels at each end to stop up the holes.....and make them look lovely.

Izzy, Ruby, Ellie and Blossom were very proud of the results!

 

Happy Easter everyone, enjoy your Easter Eggs, and have a go at 'blowing' one.

 

In case you're wondering, the hens will have a great time while everyone's on holiday

being looked after by:

Mrs Pattison, Mrs Knight, Mrs Williams, Mrs Hurst and Mrs Coles.

 

Thank you, ladies!
