Adding Game

We have been using a simple little game at Baby Ducks to help with the idea of basic addition. The children put separate items into the tubes and then they land in the tray below as a total amount.

Fish Bowl Art

The children have been have fun making some fantastic fish bowl artwork from paper plates...

Thank You

We would like to thank all the parents who contributed food to the children's leavers party today.

It was lovely to see so many parents who joined us in wishing the children every success in school and Red Jo in her new career.

Thank also for the gifts that you gave to the staff and the very kind words that you wrote in our cards. 

Tips for the Heatwave

The following advice applies to everybody when it comes to keeping cool and comfortable and reducing health risks:

• Shut windows and pull down the shades when it is hotter outside. If it's safe, open them for ventilation when it is cooler.
• Avoid the heat: stay out of the sun and don't go out between 11am and 3pm (the hottest part of the day) if you're vulnerable to the effects of heat.
• Keep rooms cool by using shades or reflective material outside the windows. If this isn't possible, use light-coloured curtains and keep them closed (metallic blinds and dark curtains can make the room hotter).
• Have cool baths or showers, and splash yourself with cool water.
• Drink cold drinks regularly, such as water and fruit juice. Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol.
• Plan ahead to make sure you have enough supplies, such as food, water and any medications you need.
• Identify the coolest room in the house so you know where to go to keep cool.
• Wear loose, cool clothing, and a hat if you go outdoors.
• Check up on friends, relatives and neighbours who may be less able to look after themselves.

School Uniforms

We would like to say a big thank you to Brackenbury School for giving us some of their school uniforms for the dressing up area.

The children have loved playing with it especially those that are going to that school. We really hope that other schools will consider doing the same as we feel it reall y helps with the children's transition.

If any parents have any old school uniform from other children that have attended local primary schools that you no longer need then please bring it to us as I am sure the children would love to play with it.

Face Painting

Today we have been having great fun with the face paints..

A New(ish) Kitchen

We would like to say a big Thank You to Brackenbury School in Portslade for donating a play kitchen. This has improved the role play area outside and the children have really enjoyed playing with it today.
