Happy Lunar New Years from everyone at Snapdragons, we wish you good luck and health throughout the year of the Snake!
Children got involved with a wide range of exciting activities across the nursery, and the dedicated staff members took the time to show the little ones how to write both numbers and letters in their home language, emphasizing the importance of cultural diversity. We also made wonderful snakes out of salt dough, allowing the children to express their creativity, and we enthusiastically used bright paint to mark make on colored paper, creating vibrant masterpieces that showcased their imaginative talents.
In February, we celebrated Children’s Mental Health Week with great enthusiasm and joy. During this special week, the children participated in a delightful range of activities carefully designed to support and nurture their mental health. We enjoyed soothing foot spas, relaxation times, and daily walks in the fresh air. Additionally, we embraced the power of positive affirmations and indulged in the magic of our beloved love shop, where children could explore feelings of kindness and sharing.
Children across the nursery have also been enjoying a variety of Valentine’s Day activities. Throughout the week, we have been engaging in delightful crafts where the little ones have been sticking, gluing, and cutting with colourful materials to create their Valentine’s masterpieces. In addition to our crafts, we explored an array of sensory trays that sparked curiosity and creativity. The sensory rice provided a wonderful texture for little hands to sift through, while the playdough allowed for imaginative sculpting. The fluffy cloud dough was a favourite, offering a unique experience as children molded and squished it, giggling with delight.
Throughout this month, we have also been exploring a variety of other exciting activities. We have been super busy engaging in building, creating, singing, climbing, and having an absolute blast while bonding with our friends!
