During their class's Chicken Week, children collect the eggs, feed and water the flock, incubate eggs in the classroom, care for newly hatched chicks and get their hands dirty. Each class does environmental learning during this time too - which means teachers can make the most of the time outdoors with curriculum activities based around the pond, orchard, vegetable patch and garden. The chickens make an enormous, and positive, impact on the children, giving them confidence, team work skills and a sense of ownership.
