St Andrew's Day- We collaged a Scotland flag, had a porridge oat sensory tray, tried porridge, designed our own kilt and made shortbread.
Lancashire Day- We did lots of amazing activities including a collage, printing of roses, sensory trays linked to roses and made Chorley cakes.
As part of our space topic we painted on tinfoil then used the markings to print to create our own planets. We also made 'space slime' and put in light up ducks. Ducklings' had so much fun with these activities
Children in Need. Ducklings had a fantastic day- we had a variety of sensory activities and all the children really enjoyed them. We also did a collage of Pudsey, added spots to his bandana and made Pudsey shortbread. A super busy and fun day!
