Christmas at Horfield!
Happy New Year from everyone at Snapdragons Horfield!
We hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas break. It has been so lovely to see the children return!
Have a look at what we have been up to during the month of December!
The children at Snapdragons had such an exciting month getting ready for Christmas! They enjoyed getting involved in all our wonderful Christmas activities from wrapping presents and baking through to performing our pre-school nativity and dressing up to raise money for the National Elf Service day!
Although things were a little different this year, we still made sure we felt the magic of Christmas here at Snapdragons!
Take a look at what we’ve been up to…
Santa Claus is coming to town!
The children were excited about the prospect of Father Christmas visiting their homes and we talked about the elves getting busy in the North Pole wrapping presents to load onto the sleigh. We decided to write letters to Father Christmas and wrap our own presents here in pre-school! The children chose their own wrapping paper and ribbons, they stayed extremely focused when using their fine motor skills to wrap up their gifts. They let loose their vivid imaginations on the subject of what to ask Father Christmas for and wrote letters to Father Christmas all the way in the North Pole!
Baby room have been making biscuits!
The children in the baby room baked biscuits this month, they have enjoyed helping pour the ingredients and mixing with a spoon. We were very excited to see the finished result.
Look what we’ve made…
Pre-school made salt dough ornaments for their Christmas trees. The children carefully listened to the instructions and got to work; they enjoyed using the rolling pins to roll out their dough and then they chose a cutter to make their own Christmas ornament.
National Elf Service day
On Thursday 17th December Snapdragons Horfield celebrated National Elf Service day, the Snappy Team and all of our lovely families worked together to raise money for our local hospitals. We are extremely proud to say that we have reached our target of £500! We are still raising money on our Just Giving page, so please donate what you can and help us continue to raise money for such an amazing charity.
Here we are dressed up as Elves and our favourite Christmas characters spreading the Christmas cheer across the nursery!
