Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings have enjoyed getting involved with our weekly baking activities where they have enjoyed making their own mixed berry loaf! They used their fine motor skills to mix the ingredients with the big spoon in the mixing bowl. We have also baked yummy flapjack and banana bread this month, all with the help from the Ducklings. We introduced ‘Ducklings Diverse Dishes’ afterthe children showed interest in our roleplay area, which features a scrapbook of pictures of our families and all the food the children have tried. We have created this scrapbook and placed it outside the Ducklings Room for all parents to have a look at. The Ducklings enjoyed listening to Millie and Colin read us a story in the big Story Bus and we sang some of our favourite nursery rhymes. The Ducklings then confidently chose a book in the Story Bus and began reading in the story den, or with a member of staff. The Ducklings explored all the different books the Story Bus had and really enjoyed this visit. We had a special visitor, Noodle, a therapy dog who came to say "Hello!". The Ducklings were very gentle and kind to the dog. We sang some of our favourite nursery rhymes and did all the signs to go along with them.. After we had finished singing, the Ducklings loved giving Noodle lots of cuddles and we even gave him some treats. The Ducklings enjoyed exploring the pancake tough tray, we spoke about all the ingredients we put into pancakes and explored the textures of the ingredients on our hands and mouths. The Ducklings then explored the different ingredients, such as lemons, which they enjoyed tasting and pulling very funny faces!
