Room 12 & 14's Chicken Coop

To support our Enviroschool and community towards sustainability, Room 14 and Room 12 have been actively involved in setting up a hen coop at Woodstock School. 

 

Over the past year we have;

• Researched the life cycle of a hen, its needs, characteristics and habitat. 
• Worked cooperatively in groups to research the appropriate design, dimensions and location for a hen coop at Woodstock school. 
• Designed our hen coop
• Organised as a team the different resources needed to build the coop. 

This term we’ve been lucky enough to have Dave McLean (Elizabeth McLean’s Dad) to come and build the hen coop, working with our design.  We really appreciate how much time, effort and care Mr McLean put into the hen coop.  He has great building skills and the hen coop turned out just perfect! 

 

We look forward to getting our hens next term and participating in the ongoing management of the coop, including cleaning, feeding and caring for the hens J
