Class 1 were very kindly invited down to take a look at GHU5’s Living Eggs Chicks. We popped down on Tuesday to see the eggs in the incubator and were so fascinated by them! On Wednesday we went back down to see that 5 of the chicks had hatched and were warming up and drying out in their incubator…
