Ducklings

We are the Ducklings!
Mrs Catterall teaches the Yellow Ducklings and Miss Lees teaches the Brown Ducklings.
Mrs Davis and Mrs Stock teach in both classes when the teachers have their time out of class for planning, preparation and assessment.
Miss Watmough, Mrs Richardson, Mrs Strickland and Miss Wilson are our lovely Learning Support Assistants.
Mrs Donnelly is one of our SEND Support Assistants.
Our mini topics for the summer term will be Spring and Summer Seasonal changes, On the Move (transport past and present, near and far, land, sea and air topic), Growing, Changing and Moving on Up, as well as other class child-led interests.
Our P.E. day will be will be on Friday each week and the children will leave their P.E kits in school. We will continue to get dressed for P.E. at school as this is a valuable part of their physical and personal and social development and learning.
Once settled in, the children will each bring home a 'choosy' book from our school library, to share with you at home. They can return it to school and change it as often as they wish. We will also be introducing our class book swap basket. The children can bring in a book from home that they no longer want and swap it for a new book. We hope that his will encourage them to develop and widen their love for reading. These will be additional books to their school reading books.
We will use our class story on ClassDojo to keep you informed of our most current learning and news each week. Our weekly 'homework' activities and suggestions of how you can further support learning will be found here too.
Look below for important and useful information which will be added to throughout the year.
