I also picked up a copy of Barn Owls by Tony Johnston and my little one LOVES it. Great post. I'm planning on adding quite a few of these to the TO BUY list!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898486906148776134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-18093910322389467662013-10-28T12:41:42.285+11:002013-10-28T12:41:42.285+11:00More great suggestions from readers and separately...More great suggestions from readers and separately from my Twitter followers, I will update the post later today.

It was such a great day. <br /><br />My own class spent the week before the excursion learning all about ducks. We read 'Alexander's Outing' (of course!), 'Make Way for Ducklings', 'I Wish that I had Duck Feet', 'The Story about Ping' and 'The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck'. We also read some poems - 'Ducks Ditty' and 'When Daddy Fell Into the Pond', did some science experiments learning about how ducks float and how their feathers are waterproof, learned about ordinal numbers, painted using watercolours (like Beatrix Potter), read lots of non-fiction books about ducks (our favourite was 'Just Ducks!') and wrote information reports. <br /><br />There is so much scope within this topic! We had the best week. And I highly recommend the excursion too!Hannah Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210748785171254120noreply@blogger.com
