Ducklings Room News

This month the Ducklings have enjoyed exploring lots of authentic and natural materials as we continue to enhance our room with lots of new pots, pans and household objects, as well as a new sofa, creating a second cozy home with great opportunities for intrigue, play and curiosity. The Ducklings have explored lots of activities focusing on our theme of 'Around The World In 30 Days', exploring seasonal tuff trays with many natural items, such as pine cones, autumn leaves, soil, sticks, shells, rocks and bark. We have talked about why the leaves are changing colour and we also had a go at painting different colour leaves with natural mud paint and autumn colours. We even investigated the leaves closely by looking at them under our light box with magnifying glasses. This month we have experienced fun ways to boost our mental health for World Mental Health Week with relaxing sensory trays, which are calming and help us to relax, focus and engage. We have been looking at our new feelings book and making different facial expressions in the mirror. The Ducklings have loved joining in with a group 'Row Row Row the Boat' action activity time with their friends. The Duckings love having Boogie Bear join us for 'Shake, Rattle and Boogie' and are becoming so confident at joining in and collecting and putting away their own instruments and pom-poms. We would like to say thank you to everyone for taking the time to full up our autumn home learning trail bags. We will be using these in our creative activities and talking all about our autumn walks.
