January - February 2020

Farmyard Friends!

It’s been a busy few months here at Snapdragons Keynsham, getting into the swing of the new year.

The children and staff have been busy carrying out Valentines Day Activities, celebrating Chinese New Year and carrying out Random Acts of Kindness!

Let’s take a look at what else has been going on…

Farmyard Fun!

Babies took a trip to Avon Valley earlier in the month. They visited all of the different animals and even got to meet some brand new Lambs! The sunshine stayed out for their trip and a fun day was had all around.

Getting Creative…

Across the nursery the children have been exploring their creativity through a variety of activities. Pre-School did some colour mixing, mixing the prime colours together to see which different colours they could make. Older Toddlers had a go at painting on different materials, including tin foil, to see how this differed from drawing on paper. Younger Toddlers created some paint ice cubes and used these to slide across their paper and leave marks, while Babies rolled different sized balls through paint and across paper.

Our most recent Snapshot…

We hope you enjoy! If you don’t see your child featured and would like them to star in the next Snapshot video please let us know.

Other Reminders…

Please can we ask parents to be mindful of the time when dropping off in the morning. If you do not have a pre-arranged early drop off, can you try to not enter the building until 8am. Our staff do not start their shifts until 8am and we have had a lot of parents congregating in the lobby / outside of rooms recently.
