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.
