Ducklings Room News

We have had a wonderful sunny May here in the Ducklings Room. We’ve had very green fingers this month, as we repotted our baby Aloe Vera plants and have been taking great care of our herb planters for Chris (the chef), taking trips up to the kitchen balcony to water the herbs and watch them grow day-by-day. The Ducklings have also ventured out of Nursery on trips to Roundhay Park to visit the swans and cygnets. On the way, they enjoyed looking at the different colours, from flower gardens, trees and all of the wildlife that we pointed out on the way. The Ducklings have also enjoyed lots of water activities in the garden, splashing to keep cool from the sun and using their fine motor skills for filling, pouring and using paint brushes to make marks on the fence. Visits to the Big Garden has been a massive hit for the Ducklings, and they’ve loved challenging their physical skills, running, and bear crawling up the hills, through the tunnels and up the bark to the huge slide! They have also enjoyed cooking up a storm in the Mud Kitchen with the older children and watching everyone playing over the watch tower. Inside we have been busy with lots of mark making, painting, sensory play, talking about shapes and colours, dancing and reading lots of wonderful stories. We can’t wait for more sun, more outings and lots more fun to come next month in the Ducklings Room!
