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

Reception Team [/dropshadowbox]
