Chickens<\/u><\/b><\/p>
One of our favourite highlights was having the baby chickens in for a special visit. The children loved watching them play, eat, and explore. We even had the chance to gently hold them and notice how much they have grown since we last saw them. <\/p>
Some of our students also teamed up with their big buddies from Year 7\/8. They took a closer look at the chicks together and enjoyed some reciprocal reading time focused on chicks. It was such a beautiful moment of tuakana-teina learning in action. <\/p>
