Yoga for the Ducklings

The Ducklings enjoyed their yoga session today. They learnt some different poses and were very relaxed and calm.

The Ducklings helped to make porridge today. Ask them to tell you what ingredients they needed and how they made it. Some of the children prepared some chopped fruit to top the porridge too. They enjoyed eating their porridge  while they listened to another Goldilocks and the three bears story. There were lots of empty bowls and honey and raisins were the most popular toppings. We talked about the changes that happened as we made the porridge.

Winter fun!

The Ducklings had great fun wrapping up warm and going out to explore in the light dusting of snow today. They found a slope to slide down, ice 'windows' to look through, miniature icicles and they loved making snow angels.

Baking Gingerbread People

The Ducklings loved baking gingerbread people, following a recipe and using lots of different tools and equipment safely. They were delicious and they enjoyed eating them whist listening to The Gingerbread Man story during snacktime.

Little Chicks began with warm up exercises. Stretching their body. Miss Taylor and Mrs Dale demonstrated to the Little Chicks how to guide the ball around the cones. Run back to their team and the next Chick takes their turn, first team to complete the group is the winner. Cool down exercises. Little Chicks learnt to turn take, use a ball with skill and follow instructions. Well done Little Chicks.

Different types of roll in P.E

This week in P.E was the start of our Fundamental Skills sessions with Kieran from Fleetwood Town. The children have learned and practised how to confidently do a teddy roll, an egg roll, a pencil roll, a barrel roll and a rock and roll. We were so impressed with how hard the children tried to improve their rolls throughout the session. A super start!
