Ducklings in Year 1

Wed 31 Mar 2021

Year 1 welcomed some very special visitors last week! We were joined by five duck eggs who came to Penn Wood School to finish their hatching journey with us. The children were lucky enough to watch a video of the first duckling hatching, which they were all fascinated by. Over the past two weeks, Year 1 have watched all five ducklings grow and have learnt lots about them in their science lessons. The children have loved the experience of watching an animal grow, play, eat their first meal and take their first swim! All of Year 1 will miss our five feathery friends, but they have made the ducklings’ first two weeks in the world very special.

This month we're encouraging you to get active, get outdoors and take care of your body! Let's reap the benefits of getting our bodies moving and breathing more deeply as a result of exercising, laughing and even singing! We don't all need to run marathons - there are simple things we can all do to take care of our bodies - for example unplugging from technology, getting outside and - importantly - making sure we get enough sleep!

This month's theme is 'Mindful March'

Let's take the time to pause, breathe and really take in what's all around us. This month we're encouraging you to take some time to look within. Learning to be more mindful and aware can do wonders for our well-being in all areas of life - like the way we eat, the things we notice or our relationships. It helps us get in tune with our feelings and stops us dwelling on the past or worrying about the future - so we get more out of the day-to-day. It can also help us identify what we're grateful for, which has been proven to help boost your happiness levels!
