Ducklings Room News

The Ducklings have enjoyed a walk in the park to feed the ducklings, they went in the pram with their friends, walking through the gardens of Roundhay park and towards the lake. The Ducklings enjoyed looking at the birds by the lake and feeding them with special food from the lakeside cafe. We also spotted some real ducklings and Cygnets! We have enjoyed taking part in various cookery classes, we have made a banana, apple, and pear smoothie with soya milk. We encouraged the children to use their fine motor skills to carefully chop up the fruit with a knife and pour the milk into the blender. They watched Chloe blend the fruit together. The Ducklings have also enjoyed the different sensory activities that we have offered to them, the activities have had varied from sand play, a large scale painting activity and shaving foam play. The children enjoyed exploring the foam cream in their hands and clapping them together! To celebrate The Very Hungry Caterpillars birthday, we have been reading the story and we set up a Hungry Caterpillar tasting session for the children, we read the story at the table and each time the Caterpillar munched on some delicious fruit so did we! The children took turns to taste the different fruits, we had banana, apple, pear and orange. We explored what the different fruits felt like and tasted like just like the very hungry caterpillar! When we got to the end of the story, we saw that the caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly and all the children took turns to hold the butterfly and look at the different colours on his wings, the children then made a craft butterfly using different colours of materials.
