The students were involved in every step of the process, from incubating the eggs to finding the right name, with one duckling even earning the fitting moniker 'Beneduckt'.

Cat Calvert, head of Kelvinside Academy's junior school, said: "If there's a better way to learn than having a duckling on your head, I'm yet to see it. "It's messy, joyful, and unforgettable – just the way childhood should be."
