Hatchlings Program

The whole community at Lindfield Montessori loved our hatchlings program!

Although the ducks and chicks have now returned back to their forever home on the farm, the memories of them are well and truly present here. The children were in awe of the eggs hatching and the chickens growing and going about their first days. We were all delighted to see the ducks swim for the first time too! We even managed to get some phonics into the hatchling’s program!

We took inspiration from GuideDogs Australia, and decided to name our bird group using all the same beginning sound. We chose the sound ‘s’. As you see below, each little chick and duckling got their own special name beginning with 's',with the children coming up with the majority of them!
