Spring has sprung!

The Ducklings have been on a welly walk to look for signs that spring has sprung! They were able to spot spring flowers starting to bloom, buds developing on branches and even a few tiny minibeasts!

Our Number Bond Party

Today, it was World Maths Day. We decided to have a number bond party to celebrate! Number bonds are pairs of numbers that make a particular total. We had fun playing lots of games that make 10! We had to find a partner with a numbered party hat that would match with our own to make 10. We rolled dice and then had to think what number would go with it to make 10. We tossed ten double sided counters into the air and told our talking partners the number sentence that they made when they landed. To finish off, we enjoyed having raisins for snack, 10 of them, but we had to say a number sentence first!

The Ducklings have been exploring spraying coloured paints outside and making colourful handprints. Inside they have enjoyed watching some Holi themed Indian dancing and have even had a go at dancing themselves too!
