Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings have been very busy doing lots of creative/mark making festive activities. They have enjoyed a large-scale painting activity where they explored freely with different coloured paints and used different mark- making tools to create marks as they painted on paper and even on themselves! All the children got really involved in this activity and absolutely loved painting and creating such lovely pictures filled with vibrant colours. We talked to the children about the different colours that we were using to increase their knowledge on them. The Ducklings have also explored Christmas sensory sessions. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. The sensory activities have allowed the children to refine their thresholds for different sensory information, helping their brain to create stronger connections to process and respond to sensory information. As our country of the month was the USA, to celebrate, the Ducklings took part in making turkey plates for thanksgiving! We spoke about the different colours ‘brown’ and ‘red’ and the children really enjoyed making their turkey plates and showing them to parents on collection!
