Ducklings Room News

We have been doing lots of different activities to celebrate our Country of the Month, Greece. The Ducklings enjoyed making some Greek Feta and yoghurt pittas, and they were excellent helpers at putting all the ingredients into one bowl and mixing it all together using their fine motor skills. The Ducklings even had a go at cutting the mint up into tiny little pieces, they all did a great job! We then used the ingredients to spread onto the pittas, popped it all in the oven and enjoyed them for our snack. They were so yummy! The Ducklings have also been enjoying lots of trips out to the park. We began our journey with a visit to the small lake and we were happy as we were lucky enough to see lots of ducks. The Ducklings had so much fun spotting them and making lots of ‘quacking’ sounds. We then stretched our legs and walked further into the park where everyone had a lovely run around in the sunshine. We have been looking out for things in the environment such as ‘cars’, ‘dogs’ and ‘buses’. The children have also been busy putting their baking skills to the test again this month. We baked some delicious raspberry cookies! Firstly, some of the Ducklings took a walk to the shop, they enjoyed picking the ingredients off the shelf and paying the man at the till. We then brought these back to the nursery to bake with our cookie mix. The Ducklings used their fine motor skills to mix all the ingredients together and watched how they formed into little balls which we rolled the ingredients. The children enjoyed cutting all the ingredients up and sharing, taking turns with their friends.
