October 2018
Snapdragons Nursery went to the farm E-I-E-I-O…
What an exciting time Preschool had at Lawrence Weston Community farm! The children enjoyed identifying the different animals and watching the chickens get fed.
Room on the Broom
Following on from our story of the month, the children got messy creating witches hats and enjoyed acting out the characters in the story.
Busy Babes
Look how busy the babies have been making wonderful creations. They made spooky treats for Halloween and got messy exploring paint.
Halloween at Horfield
We had lots of frightful fun at our Halloween party. The children played Music-Ghoul statues, made creepy crawlies and explored the insides of a pumpkin.

This year the children in Pre-School will be singing songs from ‘Prickly Hay’ for their Christmas Nativity on Thursday 6th December.

Tickets are limited to two per family unfortunately, but we will be recording the whole thing so you can order copies of the show to share with your family and friends at Christmas time. You will receive an invitation which will need to be completed and returned to the office by the end of November.
