Pattern Week 2: Jemima Puddle Duck

In this week’s story we are reading about Jemima’s encounter with Mr Tod. 

Jemima is the most lovingly created duck but she is a bit gullible in that she does not see that Mr Tod is planning on having her for dinner. 

Thank goodness Kep the Collie is there to rescue her! 

Will you join us in making sure Jemima Puddle Duck is safe? Also we are thinking about Peter who is feeling a bit off colour as he lost his jacket last week, will he find it this week?
