March Newsletter

Ducklings Throughout February the ducklings have been exploring their new room layout. We created a construction area based on the children’s interest in building towers. The children have been mixing their literacy skills with their physical development and mathematics skills, as we explored the construction area set-up with a Three Little Pigs theme! The children love using the props and masks to mimic scenes from the Three Little Pigs ’ story; we have also been using our new resources to explore different ways to build. Alongside this we have developed the sensory area to include a mixture of heuristic and open-ended resources, as well as their favourite sand and water resources! The children have been digging for hidden objects and creating their own games with paper, sand, water and a variety of other messy play materials. Finally, we have continued our cooking sessions as the children have loved creating and even tasting their own pancakes, fruit wands, smoothies and pizzas. This continues to expand their interests in food and in trying different tastes and textures. We have found that some children have enjoyed eating what they have made, when previously they may not have tried it before!
