Little Lapal Ducklings. To understand the lifecycle of animals, Reception had a very special delivery this month of duck eggs. We have watched the eggs carefully, noticing signs of pipping and we lucky enough to see a tiny duckling hatch from the egg. Our four ducklings are called Poppy, Leonardo, Duckee-Sam and Snowflake. We have spent two weeks looking after the ducklings, teaching them how to eat and drink, holding them very carefully and even watching them take their first swim. They have now gone to their forever home but we are so proud of the children for the care they demonstrated.
