Duck Party

Look who waddled into our class! We were so excited to give them a swim this morning.


As we watched them dip, dive, preen and swim, we observed and described the ducks. The children compared them using rich oral language and inquiry skills.

They inspired some art today as well.




Last night, the ducklings escaped their pen and had a walkabout all over the classroom. What a sight for Mrs. Vowles first thing this morning!

We asked the children to make a hypothesis about what they did while they were out and about in the class.

Claire expressed her ideas with paint, and showed the ducks nibbling on our books.

Max wrote out his story...."Maybe the ducks played ring around the rosy!"

And some other friends transformed themselves into the ducks to tell the story from their point of view. CLICK HERE to see the short video.
