Mother Duck

Children from the Kauri classes were leaping over the skipping rope; throwing javelins, balls and frisbees; and running excitedly around Putikitiki field training for athletics day when to our surprise, we saw a brave mother duck with her six ducklings making their way through all the activities.  We think this mother duck has been here before because she clearly trusts that the Hamilton East School children will look out for her and her new little ducklings.


We briefly stopped doing our jumping practice to let them get past safely.

  12. The ducklings look so cute and adorable. I love how you let the mother duck and her/he ducklings cross safely. Did anybody tell the teacher or did the teacher already know about the little cuties.
