Each term a group of Grade 4 students care for our school chooks. At the end of each day, they co-ordinate the collection of the food scraps and then feed these to the chooks. They collect the eggs and make sure that the chooks are securely locked up for the night.On Thursday, all the class chook food buckets need to be washed. The Chook Crew are responsible in ensuring that this is done perfectly!
