Duck fun

Today has been all about ducks. The children were given little ducks in birthday party bags at the weekend so we read Daisy Duck books, sang the three little ducks and then decided to make a pond in the garden in this big tub. The children helped fill the bucket, then decided to look for lily pads and nasturtiums were perfect! This is such a lovely example of not knowing where the day will take us; on the spot planning allows the children’s interests to totally influence what we do. My role is to provide materials, ample provocation and stimulation and challenges to help further learning and promote interest.
