Farmer Brett may supply fresh free range eggs BUT we are suppose to have our own regular supply, which simply is not the case. Our hens are quite old and don’t want to lay anymore. So “what do we do” we ask?
“Well how about we get some more chickens”?
“What a good idea, but where do we get chickens”?
“From an egg”
“Any egg”
“No, they have to be fertilized eggs”
“OK, lets get some eggs and hatch some chickens”
and this is what we have done.
Come and have a look, they are incubating in the kowhai room.
Now what should we do with the hens that won’t lay?
This is creating a lot of discussion.
What would you like us to do?
(Sadly, today we arrived to discover that our chickens had died.)
(It would appear a dog or stoat must have got to them last night.)
The tamariki have had a funeral and sung “Twinkle, Twinkle, little star”
Hopefully our incubating eggs will hatch into
gorgeous little chicks, who grow into healthy hens, that love to lay lots of eggs.
What else is on the display boards?
PETS – PETS – PETS – PETS – PETS
CAN WE HAVE A PHOTO OF YOUR PET, OR PETS?
The children have expressed that they want to bring their pet in for ‘news’? We appreciate this isn’t always possible but we can talk about a photo on the display board. The photo can be of anything you like.
Them eating, drinking, swimming, sleeping, playing or whatever.
Also, while on the subject of photos;
“What did your whãnau do over the Easter break”
