Happy Hatching!

This week saw the arrival of a special delivery. The Reception pupils had the opportunity to look after some eggs just before they hatched into chicks. The excitement has been growing all week and the following the first hatching of 'Dave' on Monday, each day has seen more and more hatchings. Each time the pupils have the chance to put forward names for the new chicks. 

"We now have 13 chicks and two are about to hatch," commented Daniel excitedly. 

The chicks are the talk of the school and many pupils are popping into the Reception classroom at playtime and lunchtime to have a look at the arrivals.

Reception pupils have had a great few weeks watching the eggs hatch and the chicks growing...sadly soon we will need to say goodbye as they return to the farm.
