PUPILS at Wheelock Primary School have been going quackers over some new arrivals.
Year 2 have been studying ‘The Circle of life’ and as part of their project have hatched their own ducklings by incubating 12 eggs.
The children watched the ducks hatch while in school and were able to watch the others from home on the school’s ‘duck cam’.
Once they are fully grown the ducks are going to live at a local farm.
Meanwhile children in the reception class have been studying dangerous creatures as their topic and have been taking a closer look at dinosaurs.
Deputy headteacher Lesley Montgomery said: “They have made a dinosaur cave to play in, have been paleontologists for the day and gone on a dinosaur dig for dinosaur bones, made their own dinosaur models and created fact files about dinosaurs.”
Elsewhere, Year 4 have been studying settlements, looking at different types of settlements from villages to towns and cities.
They discussed what can be found in cities – what they liked and disliked – and then created models of their own ideal cities.
