COOL Time

This week in Ducklings Class, our COOL time has been full of exciting seaside adventures and hands-on learning! The children loved our fishing game, where they 'caught' fish and read the numbers they found, helping to build confidence in early maths skills and number recognition through playful learning. In the sandpit, the children enjoyed making sandcastles and designing their very own flags. This was a hugely popular activity that encouraged imagination, fine motor development, and expressive arts and design. Outdoors, the large construction blocks were transformed into an amazing boat, ready to jet off across the ocean, inspiring teamwork, communication and imaginative role play. The children also tackled a mammoth obstacle course, developing their gross motor skills, balance and coordination as part of Physical Development. To finish our adventures, some children enjoyed threading leaves to create beautiful nature necklaces, supporting concentration, hand-eye coordination and creativity. It has been wonderful to see the children so engaged, curious and enthusiastic as they learn through play across all areas of the EYFS curriculum!
