This week, our nursery children were very excited to welcome some special visitors from the Reception class – a group of adorable ducklings!

We talked together about where the ducklings came from. The children learned that they had hatched from eggs and were being carefully looked after before coming to see us. Everyone was fascinated to hear how the ducklings need warmth, food, and gentle care as they grow.

The children also found out what ducklings like to eat. We discussed how they enjoy grains and special duck food, and that they need fresh water to drink. The children loved pretending to feed the ducklings and talked about keeping them happy and healthy.

The highlight of the visit was seeing just how soft and fluffy the ducklings were. Their bright yellow feathers looked like little balls of sunshine! The children were very gentle and curious, watching closely as the ducklings waddled around and chirped quietly.

It was a lovely experience that sparked lots of talking, wondering, and excitement. We are looking forward to learning more about how the ducklings grow and change!
