Chicks are the stars of school project

The school was provided with an incubator and 11 eggs, nine of which hatched and a rota was set up to look after the little chicks.

Each child also kept a chick diary to keep a record of the birds’ progress.

The young birds have now moved on to live with some of the parents, but three of them were brought back for the day to show the children how they had grown.

Pictured with the chicks on their recent visit to the school are Charlotte Randle, Lily Merrigan and Lewis Bainbridge.
