REMEMBER 

If you brought in books for our Book Swap, please make sure you have a look through our selection and take some books in return. We have lots left to be taken away and enjoyed. Please help yourself.

The boys and girls are enjoying the Book and Fairy tale Topic so much we are going to extend it for another week! We have been learning some super fairy tale songs, exploring characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes and spotting story characters hidden around our garden. We have also had a very special visitor in our library… Benji Book Bear has come to stay with us. He loves stories and books and the boys and girls at Bathgate West have been spending a lot of time with him in our library, reading to him and listening to stories with him.

We have also taken advantage of the better weather and been out playing in our garden a lot…. we even looked out our slide! It’s been another fun and busy week at nursery!

What a busy week we have had at nursery!

On Tuesday we raised a massive £116 for Comic Relief from our Fancy Dress Day and Bake Sale. We also learned a bit more about why we were raising money and had great fun making funny faces as we danced to a Red Nose Day song. Thank you to everyone that contributed.

On Wednesday and Thursday we have all had a great time going to the library. Thank you to everyone that walked with us, especially the afternoon groups as they all got pretty wet.

The boys and girls have been enjoying World Book Day by sharing some of their favourite books from home with their friends.

A  good website to help you explore stories and books with your child at home is the Play Talk Read website. There are lots of ideas, activities and of course stories to enjoy together!

We have been celebrating the Hindu festival of Holi in the nursery this week. Holi is a fun festival of colours which celebrates the arrival of spring. Some of the children in the nursery went outside for our alternative ‘colour fling’ and instead of throwing paint at each other we threw paint at large sheets of paper. The results were  pretty impressive!
