with Ms. Lai & Ms. Loungsay
We have been learning about chicks and oviparous animals (e.g. animals that lay eggs) this term. With Ms. Gourlay’s class, we hatched some eggs! We had three eggs in an incubator and we looked through a special scope that allows us to see inside the egg. Students completed a Science journal, where they made predictions and recorded their observations.

Photos of individual students will be uploaded to their blogfolios for Term 3.

The students were so excited today! We saw cracks on the eggs this morning, and by this afternoon, one little guy had pecked his way out! More to follow…
Division 7 and 8 are studying a new theme this month. We are little scientists and we are learning about oviparous animals. Last week, three eggs arrived at our school. We will get to see how these eggs hatch! The eggs are slightly larger than the ones we usually eat at home. They will take approximately three weeks to hatch. The eggs are safely stored in an incubator in Ms. Gourlay’s classroom. We will visit them every 2-3 days to make an observation about the eggs and write down some notes in our observation booklets, as scientists do.
Ms. Gourlay and I are keeping it a secret. What animal do you think is inside? “Hopefully not a dinosaur,” said a kindergarten student.
