The Puffins and Sparrows have had a very eggciting few weeks. It all started with the delivery of some duckling eggs which the children watched very carefully until they hatched. We were so excited to have 3 healthy, fluffy ducklings and they were named (by the children) Pecker, Waddle and Erica. Since then, the children have enjoyed lots of duckling time where we have watched them learn to swim, eat, run around and of course… had lots of cuddles! The children have really impressed us with their observations of the ducklings and how they are similar to/ different to humans and other animals. Amongst the egg/duckling mania, the children have been busy writing their own ‘Ugly Duckling’ story, learning about the life cycle of a duck, writing duck fact books, learning about subtraction and lots more!

We were very sad to say goodbye to the ducklings today but very happy that the ducklings will be going back to the farm and also very grateful that we have had such a wonderful two weeks! We hope that you all enjoyed watching the eggs/ducklings on the live webcam as much as we did.
