The children had a fantastic time at Wellsfield Farm Park today. The sun was shining and they enjoyed playing with all of their nursery friends, exploring all of the fun activities available at the park. We all enjoyed hearing all of the things you had been doing and seeing you have so much fun with your friends and families. A lovely way to end a very busy year with you all.

The rain just about held off for our sports day on Monday and a great day was had by all. Thank you to all those who came along to cheer and support the children. They all took part in the races with enthusiasm and determination and enjoyed receiving their well deserved medals.

What a fabulous day we all had on Saturday  for the Bathgate Procession… the sun was shining, we marched along in our wonderful costumes and we all cheered and sang loudly and proudly “Bathgate West is the Best!” and even the judges agreed as we won First prize for best costume once again this year!

You all looked absolutely fabulous representing the nursery and a big THANK YOU to Mrs Bett and the parents group who worked so hard to make all of our costumes. The turn out was great and the singing was super and we did ourselves proud… Bathgate West really IS the best!

Whilst the sun has come out to play we have been making the most of our outdoor area again. There has been lots of exploration of measuring with water using the giant scales with some of the boys trying hard to balance the two buckets equally. Jude noticed ” You need to put more water in this side to balance it.” and Oliver observed the following… ” I just put a big bit of water in it and it went that way!”.

Some children have been busy building a den in the corner of our garden and even decided to make a flag and sign for it. There has been lots of tree climbing and activity on the bikes and scooters and we have even taken our Rainbow Room outside with sand play, water play and painting outside too.  The sun has been helping our vegetables grow and our greenhouse now has a tomato plant to grow in. The left over charcoal from our fire pit has been very useful as some of the children used this to draw  pictures, exploring a range of materials.

We have also been busy learning our Gala day Safari song and can’t wait to sing and cheer on Saturday…. We are just hoping that the sun stays out over the weekend and everyone has a wonderful day! We look forward to walking with you or waving to you if you are in the crowd watching!  HIP HIP….
