Thanks to @sjnparklands for inspiring us with the Science curriculum – we decided to get some chicks for our Year 5’s to observe over time and thankfully @Luke_tytania could get us some for free!! See a thread of how it’s going so far 🐣🐣🐣🤩🎉 @chrisdysonHT @ParklandsLeeds

We can’t imagine having to send our little chickys away – we want to build one of these in school – can anyone help us with ideas for a chicken coup? @chrisdysonHT @Luke_tytania @ParklandsLeeds @HScrutes pic.twitter.com/VTmhwjlM9U
