Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings started off the month by celebrating Rosh Hashanah! To celebrate the Jewish festival, the Ducklings enjoyed tasting some sweet treats, such as apples and honey to represent a sweet new year ahead. The Ducklings also enjoyed getting involved in a messy play activities like mark-making with apples, where they dipped the apples in paint and stamped them on the paper while watching as they created marks! The Ducklings have also been exploring our new theme at nursery which is 'Around The World In 30 Days' this month, concentrating on 'Nature'! The children have been exploring different activities that have revolved around nature, such as exploring a playdough table filled with different natural resources such as leaves, pine cones, lavender, and basil! The Ducklings enjoyed using their malleable skills, as well as their imagination, to create their own natural playdough masterpiece! We also enjoyed using different senses by smelling the basil and the lavender. We have also been celebrating Green Week! We have been using lots of recycled materials in our activities and have enjoyed using these to paint, create and build with. We have also been reading different stories on how things ‘grow’. The Ducklings have had the opportunity to look after their own plants in the room and we have some baby cacti that are growing with us currently. The Ducklings have also been enjoying sessions from shake, rattle, and boogie! We have enjoyed singing along to all the different songs and using different musical instruments to join in with the sessions! The Ducklings have all done a brilliant job at settling into nursery life and building special relationships with the staff in the room!
