Last week the children in Reception had a special delivery of 7 mysterious eggs. The children then had to guess what type of eggs they were. There were guesses ranging from chicks, penguins, snakes and crocodiles! Fortunately, no crocodiles or snakes hatched out of the eggs and instead we were lucky to have 7 little ducks hatch last Thursday and Friday. Children (and teachers) from all over school have been fascinated by the little ducklings and have been visiting them daily to check on how they are doing.

The ducks in reception have prompted some excellent opportunities for writing in the class. The children have written instructions on how to look after ducks and also they have written letters to mother duck so that she knows how her children are getting on at SS Peter and Paul, which I am pleased to say is swimmingly!
