What a fun day we have had partying away at our nursery Christmas parties today! The boys and girls came dressed in their finest and have danced, sang, played party games, tucked into party food and there was even a very special surprise visitor at the end of the party.

All of the staff at Bathgate West would like to wish all of the boys and girls and their families a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to hearing what Santa brought you all in the new year….

A massive WELL DONE to all the boys and girls at Bathgate West for their fabulous performances of their Nativity yesterday. The children sang and performed with confidence to their audience as they retold the story of the Birthday of Baby Jesus.

Many children have been developing their literacy skills in the nursery over the past week whilst helping out with our Christmas Post. As well as practicing writing their own names (and others) they have been helping to sort the post and deliver it to the children’s personal trays using letter or symbol recognition and matching. They have been very busy and doing a great job too!

The boys and girls settled down to a traditional Christmas Lunch today….. We pulled crackers, told jokes, and tucked into a feast of turkey and all the trimmings, all followed by a pudding. All children tried their lunch and there were even a few clean plates at the end. It was lovely to sit down together, using our knives and forks and sing some Christmas songs too. We are now feeling very festive ready for a big week ahead…Nativity and Parties! It certainly is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here at Bathgate West.
