The children in Reception have been very excited by the arrival of the eggs! Lots of predictions were made about what might hatch from the eggs. The children learnt about all the different types of animals that lay eggs and this led to some exiting predictions like

"I predict an alligator is going to hatch for the eggs."  

"I think a turtle is going to come out from the eggs."  

"I think it's going to be a dinosaur."  

The eggs hatched out at the weekend and the children were sent a video of the first egg hatching out. It turns out the eggs were..... duck eggs! 6 healthy happy ducklings hatched at the weekend. The children were so excited to come in and meet them all on Monday morning. 

The children have been watching them grow, learn to drink, eat and build up their strength over the week. 

The highlight for everyone in Reception (adult included) was watching the ducklings have their first swimming experience!
