There was great excitement when the school ‘Chick Hatching Project’ came to fruition. After a period of twenty one days in an incubator, the hatching began on the expected delivery date, Tuesday 12th March. The fact that they hatched during school time was most exciting.
All classes were treated to a powerpoint presentation on the life cycle of a chicken by Sixth Class before being introduced to the first born chick. Three more chicks followed later that week, bringing us to a grand total of six chicks!
The chicks have now found homes in Kilmacrennan and are regular visitors to our school!
There have been numerous suggestions as to names for the chicks. Early contenders include Boiled, Poached, Scrambled, Fried, Omelette, Cheepy, Chick Norris, Hen-nifer Anniston etc……………
Really, they are cracking suggestions and egg-cellent ideas!
