An A to Z of DUCKS
Home School Links • Best Work Books
When your child joins the Infants’ School, a Best Work Book will be started for them. Each half term a piece of your child’s work is added and by the end of Year 2, your child has a unique collection of work
reflecting their journey through DUCKS. • Curriculum and Pastoral Information
You will receive an overview of Nursery and Reception learning and activities at the end of every week through Tapestry. All Infants’ School children will receive a copy of the class timetable and Golden Rules at the beginning of each academic year. • DUCK of the week Each week in the Infants’ School a learner is chosen to be the DUCK of the Week. This gives every child in each class the opportunity to be complimented by their peers about aspects of their learning, their skills and their personality. This way of celebrating each and every learner helps to reinforce our wellbeing focus and our firm belief in improving children’s self-esteem. • Home-Link Books Home-Link Books are used in EY and KS1 to record comments about your child’s reading and to exchange short messages regarding academic or pastoral queries. Please ensure that this book is in your child’s book bag every day. Home-Link Books are an excellent way to organise a meeting with a teacher. • Show and Tell Every child enjoys bringing in artefacts, photographs or other mementos of a special time or significant importance to them. Class teachers will find time in the school day or week to ensure all children have the opportunity to share their “Show and Tell” object with the class. • Special Books Special books are an opportunity for Kindergarten children to share important things together with their friends at DUCKS. They are for recording significant events in your child’s life and to help us to build a bigger picture of your child’s life outside of school. • WOW Boards and WOW Trees At DUCKS we really value the important role you play in your child’s education and how much you know about them. This information in invaluable when assessing your child’s development. Throughout the EYFS we encourage you to help us celebrate your child’s WOW moments by recording significant achievements on our WOW boards or trees such as getting dressed by themselves or sharing toys with a sibling.
