Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings had lots of fun celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we danced, had a big party and did lots of messy play activities. The children have shown an interest in painting this month and telling the practitioners what colours they are using. We used large-scale cards with lots of different sized brushes to paint outside. The children chose their own colours and poured them carefully into the paint pallets and did a great job of sharing. This month we have taken some fun trips to Roundhay Park, where the children used their large motor skills to kick and throw a ball on the field to each other. We visited the lake and the fairy garden where we found a wooden camp, we explored the camp and added more sticks to make it extra strong. Some of the Ducklings also took a trip to the shops to buy their own healthy snacks to eat in the special flower gardens, where they enjoyed looking at all the different types of freshly grown, colourful flowers. The Ducklings have loved looking at animal books, pointing out animals and making their noises, we have been looking at animals that live on land in water, splashing them in the water tray. This month has been very hot, so the Ducklings have loved lots of water fun days in the garden and making dens to stay cool. The Ducklings adore dogs, we love to say 'hello' to all the lovely dogs in Roundhay Park so we had a special guest. Elana, bring in her cute Cocker Spaniel to visit everyone. The Ducklings loved seeing Blue and taking it in turns to stroke him while being ever so gentle.
