Default circle time

Hi we have recently changed from an playgroup to an Ofsted registered nursery and we are really struggling with circle time. Our children are mainly two years old with one child just turned three. The problem is that whilst we split into key groups of 5 or 6 children for snack and then follow on with an activity for example threading and while we focus on one child the others get bored and start to wander off. This happens in two out of the three groups much to the annoyance of the other group. The children could be sat up to 10 mins which I believe is far to long for a child of two. Any advice on what we should and should not be doing would save a lot of bad feeling in our room xx
