The dinosaurs are here!

A quick update on our hatching dinosaurs.

All three have now hatched and have grown considerably since they emerged from the water.

They seem quite friendly (hopefully they're herbivores)!

THEY'RE HATCHING!

The eggs have begun to hatch.

We already have one that is fully opened and it turned out to be ...



...a DINOSAUR!

Another egg has just started to hatch. Can you see what's inside?


A Strange delivery - Update!

This morning, when Mrs Ceairns arrived into class, she found one of the eggs was starting to hatch.


What could it be?
Where did it come from?

Watch this space for more info.

A strange delivery!

Yesterday, Mrs Ceairns had an anonymous delivery in class. When she opened the box, she found 3 eggs and a note which said:

"Dear Mrs Ceairns,
Please take care of these three eggs. They are extremely valuable and rare. Place them in water so they are completely covered. Thank you."



It's all a mystery.
