Outdoor Activity As you know, DUCKS is situated in a wonderful location, with a variety of outdoor spaces on our doorstep. Staff plan activities and lessons to incorporate these into the curriculum as well as using them for daily routines. The spaces we use regularly are: • The Kindergarten garden for daily outdoor opportunities • The Early Years and Key Stage 1 playgrounds for free flow learning, play times and clubs • The Eller Bank fields (at the front of the school) for clubs, Sports Day, nature walks and outdoor PE in summer • The orchard is used for Forest School for all ages. We are delighted with how this area of the school has grown and it is an area we continue to develop as a learning environment. Outings All the pupils at DUCKS will go on outings related to a topic, a story theme or a place to enjoy at no extra cost. At the beginning of each academic year you will be contacted via DUCKSPost and your permission requested for your child to attend trips/outings. Any photographs will be published in the weekly newsletter and displayed on the foyer screen. These outings range from a walk to the College, a half day visit to a nearby place of interest or a full day outing. College mini buses, hired coaches and on some occasions public transport may be used. Every trip is risk assessed and the trip leader will organise the correct ratios of adults to pupils. Parents will be informed if we require extra adult supervision. Parents’ and Carers’ Week Parents and Carers Week is an annual event at DUCKS in the summer term. This is an opportunity for you to participate in school life and special events including: • stay and play classroom sessions • joining in Forest School sessions • open classrooms • shared reading We hope you can join us during this fabulous week and experience learning with your child/ren.
