Ducklings

Last week we had some special eggs that were delivered to our class room. Mrs Williams told us that they had to stay in the incubator to stay warm. We watched them closely and then last Wednesday one of the eggs started to hatch! After a long and what seemed very tiring few hours, our first little duckling hatched. She was really tired and quite wet so she had to stay in the incubator for a few more hours to dry off and rest. When she was ready Mrs Williams moved her to the cage and we later named her 'Penny'. Over the next few days 3 more ducklings hatched. We named the other ducklings, Herbie, Daisy and Dexter. We then helped Mrs Williams and Mrs Gibbons look after them by feeding them and giving them water. Our favourite part of having the ducklings has been giving them a bath and watching them swim.

We're sad that they have now gone, but we know they are happy and being looked after well in their new home.

Sandfield Farm

We have had a lovely day at Sandfield Farm! When we arrived we had our milk and snacks before heading off to the barn. In the barn we were busy drawing pictures and making dragonflies. We then walked over to the pond area and had a go at pond dipping. We found lots of dragonfly nymphs and other minibeasts! After we went back to the class for lunch. We then spent the afternoon exploring the play woods. We had so much fun!

Cotswold Farm Park

We have spent the day at Cotswold Farm Park and it has been so much fun! When we first arrived we had our milk and snacks and  then headed over to the barn to watch Gertrude the goat be milked. We then went to the touch barn to learn about different types of eggs and birds. We even got to hold the chicks and ducklings! They were so cute! After that we went on a trailer ride around the park to find out about the different animals on the farm. We even saw Adam Henson filming for Countryfile! After we had lunch and then we had some free time in our groups to explore the farm. We fed the animals, went in the maze, played in the park, did some dinosaur digging and had fun on the zip line!

We all had a wonderful time even though we did get a little soggy!!!
