Beat the Street

Leave a comment

🟢🚶🏻‍♂️‍➡️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

Leave a comment

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 🌟

Happy and Healthy

Leave a comment
Thank you to all the children and families who have attended our Happy and Healthy community group throughout the summer. These groups have had a focus on Infant Nutrition, with lots of discussion around nutrition, weaning, eating well on a budget and fussy eaters. We hope all who attended left with lots of ideas to try at home. Many of the children have enjoyed lots of sensory play with foods whilst exploring different textures, colours, smell and tastes.
Thank you to Costa Coffee Largs for hosting our first session, Alyson Baillie (Infant Feeding Support Nurse) and to Jamie Dorran’s (Public Health Scotland) for attending and supporting our sessions.
We ran these first 3 taster sessions and have been delighted by the uptake, we are now making plans to run monthly sessions in the new academic year, please keep an eye out for updates

Community Beach Clean

Leave a comment

To begin our morning staff welcomed families to the event. Staff were giving out free dog poo bags to the community. Julie read the story ‘The Life of a Little Plastic Bottle’ before we all headed out onto the beach to begin our clean up mission. Throughout the morning ‘Cycling Without Age’ provided rides along the sea front. Beat the Street provided a bonus beat box for our event and the children loved receiving some goodies during the event. To end the morning children selected a piece of fruit from our donation basket from Morrisons and also visited Beachcombers to receive a free ice cream for all their hard work 😃.

We would like to thank all our families who came out this morning to support us with our beach clean – what a wonderful turnout it was.

We would also like to extend our thanks to:

🌟 Cycling Without Age for coming and providing free rides along the prom for our children.

🌟 Morrisons in Largs for providing free fruit for all the children.

🌟Beachcombers Largs for kindly donating a free ice cream to each of our nursery children.

🌟 Streetscene who provided us with litter pickers, bags and vests.

🌟Beat the Street Active Nation representatives who came out and kindly brought lots of freebies for the children as well as raffle prizes.

🌟 Councillor Alan David Hill for coming along to support our beach clean.

All the support is very much appreciated. A special thanks and well done to all our children for working so hard this morning to make sure our Largs beach is clean and safe ♻️.
