Monday 14th May 2018 Our News! The Ducklings have been very busy weeding the garden and digging for worms! They have made their very own wormery and have researched and found out what the worms need and how to care for them. They have enjoyed reading and listening to facts about these amazing creatures and were able to make their own informative fact files all about worms. Some of the children took their amazing writing to show Mrs McGrath. She was very impressed with their cursive handwriting. In mathematics the Ducklings have been ordering the numbers on wiggly worms, including random selections of numbers. They have also been confident at using a range of different positional vocabulary to describe the positions of animals hiding in the garden and other position games in the classroom. In PE, Miss Wilson has been teaching them how to skip with and without a rope! Most of us find this tricky, so practising with a skipping rope is something we could do at home, if you are up to the challenge!! With Mrs Cassidy they have also been exploring balancing and travelling along equipment such as benches and boxes and exploring how to jump off and land safely. The children have very much enjoyed finding out about the animals and the different environment in the African story Handa’s Surprise. They know the story so well that they are able to retell it and have written their own Handa’s Surprise stories too! They have loved tasting all of the different tropical fruits during snack time last week! Even if some of them were very sour! The children were trying to develop the confidence to be brave and try new things! They were able to think of different words to describe the fruits. Thank you to those of you that sent in different fruits.
