Reception Fluffy Surprises!

Date: 19th Jun 2022 @ 10:11pm

This week Reception had some fluffy surprises- ducklings!

On Monday, a special delivery of six duck eggs in an incubator arrived in our classroom. Over the next 24 hours all six eggs hatched with the children being lucky enough to actually witness this themselves!

When they had dried out they were moved from the incubator to the cage and by Thursday they had already had their first experience of swimming!

The children enjoyed holding them, cleaning their cage out and choosing their names (Bob, Daisy, George, Pepper, Spidey and Nugget)!
