Teddy Bears' Picnic

The Ducklings enjoyed a lovely morning having a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, to bring our topic of bears to a close. Despite the rain and it having to be an indoor picnic, we had lots of fun singing, dancing and of course eating! We enjoyed eating the sandwiches and cakes we had made in preparation for our picnic. Do you like our teddy bear ears and head dresses we made?

Scooter fun for Robins

What healthy breakfast would you choose?

The children in Robins collected data from the teachers to find out what healthy breakfast they would choose to eat. The children created a variety of healthy breakfast options in groups. These included; yogurt with berries and a glass of fresh orange juice, baked beans on seeded brown toast with apple juice and corn flakes with semi-skimmed milk, a banana and a gladd of water. The children then put their options into a tally chart and went to collect the information from the teachers. When the children had collected their information they then answered questions about what they had found out. Which is the most popular healthy choice? Which option was the least healthy?

Healthy Fruit Kebabs

As part of Healthy Living Week the Ducklings made healthy fruit kebabs for snack time. They had to use their fine motor skills for helping to cut the fruit and their mathematical skills to make a repeating pattern with the fruit! They were very tasty indeed, especially after a morning of scootering!
