He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack,
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
                                                Adapted Traditional

Literacy

All of the teachers are missing you very much! We would like you to draw a picture and write a sentence about what has been your favourite activity since you have been at home.

Here are some of our ideas:-

Miss Insley - "I have enjoyed giving the ducklings a bath and baking cakes and cookies with Jade and Peter."

Miss Faulkner - "I have enjoyed quiet walks with my dog and knitting Easter chicks."

Miss Hensby - "I have enjoyed early morning walks with Ollie and we have done lots of craft outside in the garden."

Miss Conway - "I have been relaxing and watching my favourite TV programmes."

Miss Dodd - "I have enjoyed seeing the wildlife in my garden."

Topic

Make an Easter card for someone you love and write a message inside. Here are some ideas if you need them.

Topic

Watch the videos of the ducklings hatching on the school website (Gallery, Reception). Can you describe what is happening? If you could hold them, how do you think the ducklings would feel when they have just hatched? And how would they feel when they are 1 day old? Can you look at an egg shell at home? How do you think this might keep the ducklings safe?
