We have been thinking about about farm animals and their young.
We read ‘Rosie’s Walk’ (learning lots of new vocabulary) and watched a programme about how chickens grow. We learned that the eggs our families buy are special and don’t have baby chicks in them.
We talked about all the different types of eggs we have eaten and what they looked like when they were cooked.
We wanted to find out what was inside our egg and what happened when we heated it up. Mrs York tried to break the shell by squeezing it on the top and bottom, but it was stronger than we thought.
She managed to crack the shell by tapping the side of the egg onto a metal frying pan. We could see the yellow egg yolk and a clear jelly… it didn’t look like the eggs we eat!
Mrs York put some tea lights under a frying pan to make it hot and we waited to see what happened.
The clear jelly started to turn white!
What amazing things eggs are… I think it might be fried egg for tea tonight!
