Rag Bag Collection October 2025
To help support our eco schools work we will be having a collection for Rag Bag in October. If you are having a clear out for Christmas or there are clothes that no longer fit, then please bring them to the centre by Monday 27th October. They will be collected on Wednesday 29th October. This helps us raise some funds for other eco activities. Thank you in advance for your support.
Donation Station
♻️ Our new Donation Station is up and running ! ♻️
As you are all aware we are part of the Eco Schools programme and we are hoping to continue all our hard work with a little help from our children and families. 🌟The children at LEYC enjoy being creative, imaginative and curious and one of the best ways to nurture these qualities is with loose parts play! Loose parts play gives the children the freedom of play using all sorts of different everyday objects as anything they wish them to be. So we are looking for your loose parts !
We would be grateful of anything you could donate, big or small. ( If you have a wee look at the station there are lists of suggestions. )
Is it a kitchen roll tube…… no it’s a Telescope 🔭, a pirate sword 🗡️, a magic wand 🪄
Story of the Month Vote October 2025
Children and their families have voted ‘Room on the Broom’ as our new story of the month in the 3-5 room. Check out the results below 🙂
Up-Cycling
To support our UNCRC Article 27 – I have the right to have a proper home, food and clothing and our ECO journey, this month the children have taken part in an up-cycling activity where they have redesigned an item of clothing from their home.
This experience gives the children a better awareness and understanding of issue’s within our environment and ways in which they can help the environment and live a more sustainable lifestyle.
Fabulous designs from all!
Beat the Street
🟢🚶🏻♂️➡️Beat the Street🚶🏻♀️🟢
We took part in North Ayrshire’s Beat the Street back in May. We were lucky enough to win some amazing vouchers after coming 1st on the total points leaderboard with 51,640 points and 3rd on the average points leaderboard ⭐️
Over the last week we have been consulting with the children on how to spend our vouchers for Decathlon & Scotia Books. Using the iPads to look at the websites and creating a mind map, lots of the children were able to have their say on what they thought we should buy. We are excited to be ordering new bike helmets, footballs and goals from Decathlon ⚽️🚴🏻♀️ The children also chose their favourite ‘Orchard Toys’ games from Scotia Books and these have been ordered as well ❤️
A big thank you once again to everyone that took part and joined in with ‘Beat the Street’ to allow us to win these fabulous vouchers! You can also see our winning certificates and trophy displayed in the cabinet within the corridor 🏆

Harvest Day/Foodbank Donations
Donald and friends from Fairlie Gardens donated lots of produce to LEYC for our Harvest Day. Some of the children helped organise all the produce so this could be out on display for families to take away. In return families kindly donated items to be given to our local food bank!
Teamwork makes the dream work 🌟

Food Fun
The children have been involved in making their own biscuits, scones and pizzas alongside some of the catering staff. Julie transformed her van into our very own LEYC ice cream van, which was a highlight for the children and staff!!
