    One Duck Stuck

    Written by Phyllis Root
    Illustrated by Jane Chapman
    Published by CWP
    Theme/topic: Counting, Repetition, and Rhyme
    Suggested learning area: AC9EFLE04 (English Language and Literacy – Foundation) AC9MFN01 (Mathematics – Foundation)

    This picture book invites children to count along as various animals come to help a duck who’s stuck in the muck. The repetitive, rhyming text supports early literacy development by exposing children to rhymes and predictable sentence patterns (AC9EFLE04 – Foundation Year, English).

    At the same time, the book reinforces key mathematical concepts by encouraging children to recognise numerals, match quantities, and practise sequencing numbers up to ten (AC9MFN01 – Foundation Year, Mathematics). With its engaging rhythm, vibrant illustrations, and opportunities for counting and number sequence, One Duck Stuck is an excellent resource for developing both early language and numeracy skills in an enjoyable and memorable way.

    Suggested learning area: AC9HP2P01 (Health and Physical Education – Year 1,Year 2) AC9HP2P03 (Health and Physical Education – Year 1,Year 2) AC9TDE2P01 (Design and Technologies – Year 1,Year 2) AC9TDE2P02 (Design and Technologies – Year 1,Year 2) AC9TDE2P03 (Design and Technologies – Year 1,Year 2) AC9TDE2P04 (Design and Technologies – Year 1,Year 2)

    This inspiring picture book celebrates teamwork, creativity, and determination. As a group of children come together to build a boat for their picnic on an island, the story naturally lends itself to discussions about the purpose of a boat in general and context of the text (AC9TDE2K01 – Years 1 and 2, Design and Technologies). The story also highlights the importance of preparation before they begin (AC9TDE2P01 – Years 1 and 2, Design and Technologies), innovation and problem-solving when they face the challenge at sea (AC9TDE2P03 – Years 1 and 2, Design and Technologies).

    Throughout their journey, they experience challenges and moments of joy, allowing students to reflect on how they manage emotions in different situations (AC9HP2P03 – Years 1 and 2, Health and Physical Education). The story also supports children in understanding how teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving help them to achieve shared goals (AC9HP2P01 – Years 1 and 2, Health and Physical Education).

    Let’s Build a Boat is a perfect launchpad for hands-on STEM or creative projects, as well as social-emotional learning discussions around collaboration, effort, and celebrating differences.
