Ducklings Room News

What a wonderful start to the month we have had! We were so excited to welcome the mobile farm to the nursery, and the Ducklings absolutely loved stroking and feeding the animals. Their favourites were the rabbits, guinea pigs, baby lambs and the cow. We enjoyed singing “Old MacDonald” together and copying the animal noises as we explored. In the Ducklings Room, the children take part in special classes each week. On Mondays, our “Little Nature Explorers” sessions encourage the children to enjoy mini-beast hunts, collect natural treasures, and explore the garden with curiosity. Thursdays are our “Mini Bakers” sessions, where the children have made themed treats, including Spanish flag biscuits, green heart biscuits for Mental Health Awareness Week, and gingerbread men for Share a Story Month. On Fridays, the children enjoy “Calm and Curious” sessions using parachutes, sensory toys, and calming music to support relaxation and self-regulation. During Mental Health Awareness Week, the Ducklings explored feelings through emotion activities, creative play-dough experiences, and even enjoyed a relaxing spa afternoon with cucumber slices and afternoon tea. For Share a Story Month, the children loved listening to stories such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Gruffalo, The Gingerbread Man, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? They also enjoyed taking part in story-themed sensory and creative activities linked to each book.
