April Newsletter

Ducklings The Ducklings have been continuing their cookery classes and have been baking yummy apricot and raisin flapjacks. Everyone got involved putting the ingredients in and stirring them around by using a spoon. They then rolled them into balls and put them on a baking tray so that they can be cooked in the kitchen and ready to take home! We have also been celebrating an Indian festival called 'Holi'. This involves lots of different colours (we used pink, purple, orange, red, yellow and blue). To celebrate this festival, the Ducklings got involved in a large-scale painting activity. It was so much fun! The children had chance to explore the variety of paints by using different mark-making tools to make marks on either the paper provided or themselves! Everyone got involved and had so much fun, plenty of smiles and giggles were shown, especially when they were painting each other! We also celebrated St Patrick’s Day by making a green smoothie, all the children took turns to cut the apple, pear and spinach independently promoting their fine motor skills and all did a brilliant job, we then added milk and mixed all our ingredients together. We then placed it all in a blender and watched our yummy fruit and spinach turn into a delicious green smoothie.
