Sian and Sam - two year two writers from room 12 - have written the most impressive explanation texts about how penguins hatch and grow up

First the adult lays two eggs in its nest. Next it waits for 43 days. Then the egg hatches with some yolk. After that the chick has fluff. Then the fluff comes off and it gets feathers. Finally it becomes an adult and goes back to its own place, where it was born and has its own eggs and has some chicks.

First penguins have two eggs. One penguin goes to get food and then the other penguin stays to look after the chick. Next when it has hatched the chick has some food. After that it's a juvenile and it learns to defend itself and get food for itself. Finally it's an adult and it has its own chick.
