Ducklings swim!

We have continued to enjoy our ducklings. They have grown very quickly and on Tuesday we watched them swim in the paddling pool. What fun! On Thursday they went back to the farm and we all wished them a happy life.
This week we read the story of 'The Ugly Duckling' and we all wrote about it. Some children were able to begin to retell the story in their own words. Some children also wrote their own lovely books about The ugly Duckling too.
In Maths we learned about capacity. We used language such as full, half full and empty. We estimated how many scoops of water would be needed to fill up a jug. We also did some problem solving. Would a wide jug hold more than a tall bottle? Perhaps you could do some cooking with your children and measure amounts in a measuring jug?
We had some lovely home learning from the children to share about life cycles. This week's home learning is to share the technology that you use at home and what you have learned to do on it. We hope you enjoy your Bank Holiday Monday!
