The Egg Baby Project is part of the Childcare 8 weeks module in Transition Year. All students from 4Cuchulainn took part. It involved the students taking home an egg baby for a week and looking after it like it was a real baby. A diary had to be kept detailing the routines and responsibilities involved and students’ responses to the activity. The baby had to be brought to school everyday. At the end of the week, the evaluation took place. Most students described it as a worthwhile and challenging experience, having ‘’ a baby” to look after. However, the consensus was that a week was long enough!!!!!
