Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings have had a great first month and have begun settling into the room well. We have been on many lovely walks to the park, walking around the lake and seeing the swans, cygnets and ducks! Some of the Ducklings have loved learning to say, ‘Quack Quack’ and ‘Duck’. The Ducklings have also enjoyed sensory sessions and this has supported the Ducklings settling in. Our sensory sessions have included bubbles, lights, and bean bags! Some of the Ducklings had their first session of ‘Shake, Rattle & Boogie’ and enjoyed participating in sessions with Kimberly. The Ducklings have loved exploring all the exciting musical instruments that Kimberly has brought in as well as joining in with the actions to the fun songs and saying Hello to ‘Boogie Bear’. The Ducklings have been doing amazing throughout their first couple of sessions. We have also done many messy play activities in the room. The Ducklings have enjoyed getting their hands messy and exploring the different textures. We have been exploring Autumn/Gruffalo-themed activities based on children’s interests.We spoke about all the different colours we see in Autumn and explored sensory trays with leaves, pinecones and even some pumpkins. We had another special visitor visit us this month, Noodle the Dog! The Ducklings enjoyed singing and signing with Mel and Noodle. We sang some of our favourite nursery rhymes using Makaton and after we got to stroke Noodle and give him some yummy treats.
