2019 – 2020

In Ducklings class we have been talking about Australia Awareness Day, reading Australian stories and doing some Aboriginal artwork.

On Tuesday 4th February Ducklings class held their parent engagement session which involved puppet making. There was a variety of puppets made and the children are using them in class to retell some of their favourite stories.

In Ducklings this week we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We made spring rolls and performed a Chinese dragon dance.

The children were very excited today during discover and do time, they found that the tuff spot that was filled with water on Friday had turned to ice. The children discussed how they thought the ice was formed and what would make it melt.

We have been learning about Remembrance Day , some of the children in Duckling class made their own poppies using a variety of different materials.

We have been exploring different ways to create structures with the wooden blocks.

We have some Duckling artists in the making. We have been learning about ourselves and what makes us unique. we painted a self portrait.

We went on a listening walk in phonics. Ducklings, ducklings what do you hear?

We hear cars, birds and aeroplanes that’s what we hear.
