January 2026

Ducklings have been busy this month enjoying their learning. We spent the first week learning all about buses and set up a bus-themed provision, they really enjoyed it and had so much fun!

The children also enjoyed listening to ‘When I Build with Blocks’ and were very excited about building lots of different things using the blocks. They built towers, bridges, castles and so much more! We were really impressed with how creative they were and how well they worked together.

We’ve been reading ‘Walking Through the Jungle’ and ‘Dear Zoo’ and the children have really enjoyed learning about different animals, where they live and the sounds they make. We also learnt to sing ‘5 Little Monkeys’ and ‘1 Elephant Went Out to Play’ and the children really enjoyed acting out the songs and counting to 5 using their fingers! 

December 2025

This month at Duckling class, the children were excited to see the classroom being decorated for Christmas and all the continuous provision being set out for it! The children even helped put the Christmas baubles on the tree!

Duckling class also received an exciting visit from Hannah at Christ Church in Woking. She re-told the story of the Nativity and even got the children to dress up in costumes and act out the story. They had so much fun and really enjoyed it.

Duckling class were also very busy practising a medley of Christmas songs for our Christmas Concert. They were very excited about performing in front of their parents. They sang with big loud voices and even used props to match the song. We were so proud of Duckling class, they were brilliant!

November 2025

This month, Duckling class had an exciting visit to the Life Space tent. The children learnt all about how to take care of their bodies with help from Harold the Giraffe. The children were so excited to join in and they really enjoyed it! We were so proud of how well-behaved and how well the children sat whilst in the Life Space tent!

Duckling class also enjoyed listening to ‘Spot Loves Bedtime’ and ‘Spot Says Goodnight’. They enjoyed learning about the difference between daytime and nighttime, and what we would do during the day and night!

The children also enjoyed listening to ‘Spot Goes to the Farm’ and ‘Noisy Farm’. They enjoyed learning about the different animals that live on the farm, and had fun taking part in the farm-themed enhanced provision!

October 2025

The children have all settled in so well, and we are so proud of them all! We have had lots of fun listening to stories, singing songs, making and building.

We have now been enjoying stories about Spot the Dog. The children loved talking about how Spot’s Nursery is like ours and what they might have at their own birthday party, just like Spot’s Birthday. The children have also been busy shopping just like Spot in our role-play supermarket!

 

 

 

 

 

We also took part in the International Food Fair here at Maybury. We chose to represent Pakistan and had fun decorating bunting and making delicious barfi with the children!

Please remember as the weather turns colder to send your child in with a jumper and coat, making sure it is named.

September 2025

A big warm welcome to our new and returning children! We are so proud of how Duckling Class has settled into the nursery so far. We are really looking forward to working with our new/returning children and their families.

The children have been busy learning new routines, such as tidying up and sitting down on the carpet for stories/singing/circle time. We have also been learning to make new friends.

Please remember to write your child's name on their school uniforms, school bag and water bottle. This is to ensure their belongings do not get mixed up. Thank you!
