Wimpole Home Farm
Chick Development and Animal Talk KS1 &
2
-
The children are involved in a talk about the difference between living
and non-living things.
-
The group is prompted to think about things which living animals’ do
(moving, breathing, 5 senses, feeding, going to the toilet, having babies,
growing). As the class suggests each of these, a child comes to the front to
hold a cartoon showing the activity.
-
They then see a collection of poultry eggs of different sizes, from quail
to ostrich.
-
The children learn about chick development with the aid of slides and the
story 'Rosie's Chick'
-
Chicks at various stages of development are brought in for the children to
see and touch.
