Mystery Eggs - Sparking Curiosity

At Children's House we want children to develop a thirst for learning and be curious and joyful in their learning.
This week we had a delivery of some mystery eggs to school. There were 10 of them. 

The children were encouraged to quietly come and observe the eggs and share talk about them.
Most children were able to recognise they were eggs and were encouraged then to share predictions about what might be inside:
From Spiderman, a hippo, a snake, a tiger, a chick and a chocolate egg! Children were confident to share their thoughts while adults wrote them down. 
Children counted the eggs 1-10 - and many were able to keep count.

Each day, small groups came back to observe the eggs and look for any changes... by day three they noticed changes.
Then some cracks appeared! The eggs began to hatch!  The children showed great excitement but were respectful around the eggs.

We will update the blog next week - maybe your child can tell you what hatched from the eggs? Maybe you can read below!
Why don't you quietly creep into the Red Building or the Ground Floor Class and see for yourself!!!
