We got a surprise this morning when one of our ducklings had hatched.

Meet Donald

The children have watched with interest, what Donald was up to and looking for clues to see if any other ducklings were ready to hatch.

There was a buzz of excitement around school today as we received our eggs.

There was lots of discussion about what the eggs looked like and why they were in the incubator. The children used the information from Incredible Eggs to identify the type of ducks that would be hatching. We came to the conclusion that they were Pekin ducks, “The eggs are white like them,” said Phoebe.

After reading the story Whatever Next! the children were curious about space. Over the past few weeks we have been exploring space finding out how we can get there, what we might see when we are there and learning lots of new vocabulary.

Writing can take many forms from emerging writing using lines and shapes, to writing sentences. The children love to write and are very proud of their work.

We celebrated World Down Syndrome Day by wearing odd socks. We watched a lovely video clip of a little boy who has down syndrome. He explained to us what it means. Everyone had great fun designing their own odd socks and enjoying being different!

We had the most exciting afternoon celebrating science. Neil, from Big Science came to visit us and showed us how acids and alkaline cause different reactions to occur in water.
