A Term Full of Tiny Transformations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prep students have spent the past two weeks immersed in the wonder of new life as our baby chicks and ducklings hatched and quickly grew into active, cheeky and delightfully noisy little friends. We have loved talking to them, feeding them and gently patting them. A highlight was watching the ducklings take their very first swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prep were incredibly lucky to receive a surprise visit from Mother Hen, who came to talk to them about the lifecycle of a chicken. The students were very excited to see her and loved listening to her make funny chicken noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside our feathered visitors, we have also been caring for tiny silkworms that recently emerged from their eggs. Each day, the students have helped their teachers carefully move the silkworms with a paintbrush onto fresh paper towels to keep them clean and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We feel incredibly privileged to experience these real-life learning opportunities. They have deepened the students\u2019 understanding of lifecycles, living things and the responsibility involved in caring for other creatures. The students have shown great maturity and kindness as they nurture these small but fascinating animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
