Ducklings Room News

We had such a fun start to our month, we celebrated ‘Beach Week’ at nursery, which was amazing as the ducklings love anything beach themed and water play! The Ducklings got their swimsuits on and headed into the swimming pools to splash with their friends; we also had some exciting beach setups filled with sand, foam and sea creatures for our Ducklings to explore! Our chef Oli also made fish & chips in a cone, which was so yummy! Throughout the month, we went on a lot of walks! We had an exciting trip to the bakery. We hopped on the bus and made our way to Street Lane Bakery to buy some bagels, we relaxed on the benches and had some water and tried the bagels. We also went to Roundhay Park to see the ducks, pick some flowers in the flower garden and take a stroll through the tropical world gardens. Our Ducklings love baking! We made flapjacks and oatmeal raisin cookies, and the Ducklings always do such a great job at mixing all the ingredients together and waiting for their turn, well done Ducklings! Zoo and farm animals are a huge interest in our room; the ducklings love to explore our setups with cereals, flour and natural resources in. All of our Ducklings have amazing speech and can pronounce animal names confidently, such as ‘tiger, roar’, ‘elephant brrr’ and ‘pig, oink oink’. For Football Day, we recreated a football stadium with footballs, England flags and mini goals. The Ducklings were using their fine motor skills to score goals with their fingers. We played football in small groups at group time as the Ducklings shouted ‘kick’, ‘pass’ and ‘goal!’
