The children have been fascinated by the development of the ducklings and have really respected the animals each time we have visited. The children have been calm, very quiet and so caring. What a lovely experience for all the children! From our observations the children have created some art work using cardboard as a form of mark making.

The children have been learning and writing about the lifecycles of frogs, beans and ducks by watching the changes to our tadpoles, plants and ducklings. They have been talking about the human life cycle too, and we loved seeing their own baby photos.
They are also learning about new life and the symbols of Easter and they enjoyed making an Easter garden.
They have used different methods to make beautiful Spring flower artwork.
