🐦 Recycled Birds 🐦
At Ducklings Stapleford, we follow our own unique curriculum based on the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage- but we base all our learning around the children’s interest.
That interest in the last couple of weeks has been birds! Our children enjoyed getting messy using the glue and recycled CDs to create their own bird decorations to hang up.
During this activity, we linked to mathematical development by using number, e.g “how many eyes does your bird have?” and comparing amounts e.g, “Your bird has more wings than mine”.
Activities like this are adapted to suit each child’s individual learning outcomes and to meet the child where they are at. It was lovely to see the children really concentrating and getting stuck in!
