EASTER is just around the corner and a Sale primary school had some special – and very cute – little guests hatch just in time to celebrate.

Pupils have been giving lots of TLC to a number of baby chicks at St Margaret Ward Primary School this week.

The children have been waiting patiently and watching excitedly for the incubated eggs to hatch and the little chicks finally made an appearance last week.

They’ve been on tour around the Cherry Lane school ever since and even made an appearance in the toddlers group, much to the delight to the tots.
