Ducklings The Duckling’s have enjoyed a nature walk to look at the flowers and water fountains at Tropical Gardens. The children observed the different coloured flowers, the most popular colours were 'yellow' and 'purple', there were many opportunities for the children to use their senses such as smelling the flowers. The Ducklings have been interested in the 'Gingerbread Man' book at nursery and it is one of their favourite stories to read at story time. We thought it would be a nice idea for them all to make their own Gingerbread Men. The Ducklings all took turns to mix in the ingredients and then all individually took turns to roll out their piece of dough using a rolling pin and cut out their own 'gingerbread men’. All the children shared the resources with their friends and helped each other make their master gingerbread men. The Ducklings have also been very busy celebrating Easter. We enjoyed singing 'chick, chick chicken’ and using musical instruments. We have taken parts in lots of Easter crafts such as making our eggs using different materials. We have also had a feather and cornflake sensory tray with baby chicks, and an egg hunt in the sand! The Ducklings have also enjoyed looking at our 'Easter Curiosity Cube', where we placed chicks into the box to see if they had laid eggs each day - and they did! This was great for the children to develop their personal social and emotional development as well as understanding the world.
