Nominate a Star
Is there a staff member that you would like to be acknowledged for all their hard work this year or someone who you would just like to thank? At Snapdragons we run a reward scheme for our employees, nominations from parents mean stars for the staff that can go towards a range of different rewards and prizes which can include sweet treats, hampers, meal vouchers and even a trip to the spa, so if you would like to reward the staff remember to fill in the online form sharing your lovely words.

Hedgehogs
Babies have been busy exploring and investigating with curiosity this month. They have been finding out about different textures and making their own mixtures. They have also been investigating cause and effect “How fast can we make the wheel roll?”
Squirrels
Toddlers have been finding different ways to communicate with confidence this month! They have been different textures and shapes to find out what things are called. “How do we make different colours?” was a question being investigated this month!
Otters
Otters have been developing their self help skills and finding out what we need to survive! They made their own campfires outside to keep warm, cared for the babies and dug in the sandpit for long lost treasures! They enjoyed getting messy and exploring the different ways we can mix materials together too!
Badgers
Badgers have been busy practicing their self help skills too by learning some makaton signs for different things. They also have been making maths meaningful by exploring different shapes and measures. “Which cup holds more water? why?”
Deers
Can we rescue the character’s in the maze? Preschool have been using their team work to build different mazes for their friends to try and problem solve. They also enjoyed going on a number hunt in the garden to find all the numbered stars that were hidden around.
