Bronlee’s Shell-less Egg

This was our exciting class news today. 

We used this cool opportunity to practise our growing questioning skills.

Thank you Bronlee for answering us so clearly, we all learnt lots.

Questions:

1. Where did you find it? (Shianne)

In the nest when mum went to get the eggs in the morning.

2. Why did it turn out like that? (Conor)

Because the hen didn’t get enough grit and the egg wasn’t warm enough.

3. Why does your mum like getting the eggs? (Madison)

Because we like eating them and soon we might be selling them in the newsletter.

4. Why does it feel scaly? (Rikardo)

Because that’s just how they feel.

5. Why did it crack a bit? (Jacob)

It might be the way its been sitting in the box.

6. Which chicken was it from? (Brendon)

Do you mean like which hen laid it? One of our black hens maybe because she was the only one laying out of that pen of chickens.

7. Why does your mum do the eggs night and morning? (Dylan)

So that if the hen gets off it, it doesn’t go cold and the chick dies inside it.

8. How does it get warm or cold? (Conor)

If the hen sits on it her feathers keep it warm but sometimes she’s not actually sitting on it or she might be playing with the other hens or getting some food or water.

Madison said – just like how Mrs Jones warmed Ms Daniels’s seat.

9. When did the hen lay it? (Benjamin Y)

Yesterday.
