We took care of 12 duck eggs in an incubator in our classroom for 4 weeks. 10 out of 12 eggs hatched and 2 of them hatched during school time so the children got to see them trying to push their way out of their shell. When they were ready, we transferred them from the incubator and they stayed under a heat plate to keep warm. They grew so quickly, when they were old enough we let them have a paddle in water, they loved it! We kept them for 2 weeks then they went back to the Croft that we got the eggs from. It was such an exciting learning experience for the children (and the staff!)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2673\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101649\/IMG_E4608.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101649\/IMG_E4608.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101649\/IMG_E4608-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2674\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101650\/IMG_E4505.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101650\/IMG_E4505.jpeg 575w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101650\/IMG_E4505-168x300.jpeg 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2675\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101652\/IMG_E4534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101652\/IMG_E4534.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101652\/IMG_E4534-169x300.jpeg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2676\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101654\/IMG_E4778.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101654\/IMG_E4778.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101654\/IMG_E4778-169x300.jpeg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2677\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101656\/IMG_E4536.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101656\/IMG_E4536.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101656\/IMG_E4536-169x300.jpeg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2678\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101659\/IMG_0457.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101659\/IMG_0457.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101659\/IMG_0457-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101659\/IMG_0457-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101659\/IMG_0457-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2679\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101700\/IMG_0456.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101700\/IMG_0456.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/public\/ollaberryprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/09\/17101700\/IMG_0456-169x300.jpeg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had great fun learning about the life-cycle of a duck and witnessing it firsthand.
