1. The Ugly Duckling an assembly item by 2FR, Penrith PS, 2010

2. x Once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling. His feathers were brown and grey - and his neck was too long for a duckling.

3. x The mother duck knew something was different about him even when he was an egg.

4. x His whole body didn’t look like the other ducklings.

5. x The ugly duckling’s brothers and sisters were mean to him.

6. x They teased him and picked on him because he was different.

7. x The ugly duckling had a broken heart.

8. x He ran away from the pond and found a house with an old woman in it. She brought him inside and said, “You can lay eggs for me!”

9. After a few days, the ugly duckling still hadn’t laid any eggs. The old woman shooed him away.

10. x The ugly duckling flew to the lake and saw some strange white birds overhead!

11. x They were swans, the most graceful birds in the world.

12. x The ugly duckling saw his own reflection in the water and noticed his feathers had changed colour!

13. x He realised that he was no longer an ugly duckling, nor even a cygnet.

14. x He’d turned into a beautiful white swan.
