Pandora's Box

Today we looked at the story of Pandora's box! here is the basic outline of the story. :)

Basically... a women called Pandora was made by some gods and was sent by Hermes from the heavens, she was given a boy called Epimetheus, Epimethus had no mum or dad so was happy to go with Pandora. She saw a box and was then curious of what was inside it so she asked Epimetheus what was inside but he didn't know all he knew was that someone had gave it him to keep safe. But Pandora was too curious to resist taking a peep inside, so while Epimetheus was out picking flowers for her she decided to open the box, just as Epimetheus walked through the door a swarm of troubles came flying out of the box and stung them both and she quickly shut the box.. but it was too late!
"please let me out" came a soft voice inside the box.
"NO!" said Pandora... "please, I'm sure you will" the voice said, so Epimetheus and Pandora open the box only to let out a pretty fairy.
" Hello, my name is hope I will protect the world from the troubles!"
Pretty much the end!

Me and my sister jess also made the Pandora's box, and had great fun MOST of the time 'cos' some things went wrong, we painted a box and made our own troubles! :)


This is me drawing troubles.
 
This is me gluing the box. 
 
This is my little sister jess drawing her troubles.

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
