Ducklings Room News

This month in the Ducklings room, the children and staff have been having fun celebrating Children in Need by celebrating our Crazy Hair Day, and the ducklings also enjoyed some related messy play activities. In Ducklings we have also introduced a reading backpack where the children decide what book they want to take on an adventure outside each week! Our first chosen book for the adventure was ‘Ruby flew too!’. We placed our book in our backpack and ventured on our walk to Roundhay Park! Once we got there we sat down and listened to Ruby Flew Too! We spoke about the different animals in the book and sang ‘5 Little Ducks!’ Once we had finished our story, we ventured round the lake to find our own ‘Ruby ducks'. We found them standing and waiting in a line for us just like our story! We fed them some snacks and then came back to nursery. The Ducklings also enjoyed reading the Ruby flew too books independently and pointing to the animals they had seen in the book! Our next reading adventure outside was finding the Gruffalo! The Ducklings have also been celebrating Nursery Rhyme Week! We sang lots of our favourite nursery rhymes and also made different messy activities out of some of our favourite songs! We decided to make our own flapjacks of ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' to celebrate one of our favourite nursery rhymes in the Ducklings room. All the children had a chance to mix the oats together in the bowl and each had their own individual spoon to encourage mixing! We added butter, oats and honey! All the children used their fine motor skills and had a turn at mix, mix, mixing! They mixed all the ingredients together and waited for our yummy flapjacks to cook in the oven!
