Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "Farmyard Wedding" by Joy Cowley.

In Joy Cowley's poem "Farmyard Wedding," two ducks get married and celebrate with their friends.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How does love emerge?" and "How can we achieve happiness?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this poem at home:
    • What was "Farmyard Wedding" about?
    • What did you learn about Beauty & Happiness?
    • What did you learn about Love?
  • Watch Kids on LOVE! at home with your child.
