Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings have had such a wonderful month! We started the month by making our own fruit Valentine's wands in time for Valentine’s day, we used butternut squash, apples and pears. The Ducklings used their fine motor skills to use the love heart cutters to make shapes to represent love hearts. Once we cut the fruits up, we threaded them onto skewers and enjoyed eating them with our friends as a yummy snack. We also had fun exploring lots of Valentine’s messy play activities including paint and playdough. We explored the colours red, pink and purple, and had lots of fun mixing the colours together to see what other colours we could create! We also enjoyed giving meaning to the marks we made as we used different resources to create love heart shapes and marks on our paper. This month we have also been focusing on textures and how different textures feel when we touch them. We created an ‘animal texture’ tuff tray where the Ducklings got to explore the feel of grass, oats, flour and rice. We spoke about how all the different textures felt such as ‘soft’, ‘hard’ and ‘prickly’, we then made marks with the animal figures in the different textures.
