Spring Arrives in Rush Green!

Today we had some very special arrivals!

12 eggs arrived in an incubator. They will be staying with us until Thursday 29th March, by which time they will have hopefully hatched.

Some of the pupils have been to visit, but the rest of the school will have plenty of chances to see them over the next two weeks.

From tomorrow it might be possible to hear the chicks 'cheep' from inside the egg.


On Wednesday we hope that the chicks will start hatching. We'll be taking lots of photos and videos and presenting them on our blog.

The eggs are from a Rhode Island Red (the same as Rocky from 'Chicken Run' according to Mrs. Gee), which is why the letters 'RIR' have been written on them.

    Class 3U went to visit the eggs and we heard the cheeping noise twice! We think that it is great that the eggs are going to hatch and we can watch it over the next couple of weeks. We will have our very own easter chicks. We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Robertson and Mr Calderwood for giving us this opportunity to watch them grow!
