After a long winter our chickens Alver, Iron Man and Flower are so excited to have more sunshine and they have been laying lots of eggs in celebration. We have once again started sending eggs home with the Year R children who sign up on Tapestry, and those children are taking home an egg and the egg diary to tell us what they do with their egg!

We are also excited to announce that we have 3 new members of the Alver Valley Chicken 🐓 crew. At the weekend Mrs Petty settled in 3 new hens to our happy tribe. They are rescue hens, as our last new members were. This means they are missing a few feathers here and there, and are a little on the thin side, but we will soon bring them back to full strength with the special care and attention they will receive. What are their names, I hear you ask? Well, following Year R writing their name suggestions on Post Its and pulling 3 out of the bag, I can announce they are to be called – drum roll – Rainbow 🌈 Prince Hulk, and Mr Cook! Yes, the children named them and they were the names selected (and yes, one of our teachers is also called Mr Cook!) 😀🐓🐓🐓
