Conkers Galore!
I’m sure you all have very fond memories from your childhood where you and your friends scourged and searched for the best conkers to determine whose was the biggest and strongest of them all! Here at Snapdragons Nursery we got very creative and artistic with them! We’ve also been using other natural resources found around the Nursery to create some beautiful necklaces, paintings and other fun things!
“Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the Moon!”
We’ve been having lots of fun with space themed activities here at Snapdragons Nursery during World Space Week (4 -10th October). World Space week is described as "an international celebration of science and technology, and their contribution to the betterment of the human condition”.
We’ve been making our own moon rock cakes over in the Babies Pod, painting our own galaxies, science experiments with ‘fizzing planets’ and alien slime, exploring what it’s like to be an Astronaut on the moon and making our own ‘fruit rockets!’
Wrong Trousers Day
Thank you very much to all of you who donated funds for the Bristol Children’s Hospital by wearing your most wackiest and funniest trousers! We raised well over our target of £100 and our very own Gromit Statue came in the post which some of our lucky preschoolers got to decorate! He’s full of beautiful colours!
Trip to the Museum
We’re very lucky to be centred at the heart of Bristol where there are so many different places to explore and discover. Some of our preschoolers took a trip to the Bristol Museum and discovered some Dinosaur bones and animals inside!
Making and Baking
We’ve been getting our chef hats on and making some delicious garlic bread, smoothies, healthy biscuits and spooky treats!

“It’s all a bunch of hocus, pocus!”
We had a fang-tastic week celebrating all things spooky with some amazing activities organised by our practitioners - from freeing spiders trapped in ice, carving or painting pumpkins, ghoulish dancing and some brilliant dressing up by both children and staff!
