The mystery has been solved! Last week 6 beautiful little ducklings hatched from the eggs which arrived last Tuesday. They will spend their final week in Chelsea Class and return to the farm on Friday so please come in and visit, preferably at the end of each day this week.

The children will have their class and individual photos taken on Tuesday 7th May. Please ensure they are in full school uniform. If they are in summer uniform, please send in their school jumpers too. Also just a reminder that only black school shoes must be worn.

Please remember to check the weather each day and dress your child appropriately for the weather. On warmer days your child may wear their summer uniform and please provide a sunhat or cap as the midday  sun can be quite harsh.

Kind Regards

The mysterious eggs will be arriving on Tuesday and we hope to have hatchlings by the end of the week.  You are welcome to come in and have a look at the process, preferably at the end of the school day. The eggs will be in an incubator and will spend the first week in Grosvenor Class. Thereafter moving to Chelsea Class in the second week.

Also, we look forward to Friday’s Wear it Wild Day. Remember you don’t have to buy a special costume for this day. Get your child involved in creating their own costume or a fun mask of an endangered animal to wear to school on Friday. Donations of £1 go to the WWF charity for their efforts to protect endangered animals.

Kind Regards
