    Ready, set, go! 🏁
 
Our egg and spoon race this morning was no yolk - talk about an eggs-hilarating competition!
 
🐰The girls donned their bunny ears and took to the quad for a crackin’ good time.
 
🍳It was an egg lottery with raw and hard-boiled eggs, with quite a few ending up smashed on the ground.
 
Wolstenholme emerged as the final victors with Miss Turner winning the final lap by a bunny’s whisker.
 
A special mention goes to Blake for her egg-ceptionally decorated eggs.
