There were lots of witches, spiders, superheros and spooky creatures today, great fun was had by all at the parties. Thank you to everyone for coming in all your lovely costumes.

Welcome back after the October break. On our return some spooky things have been happening around the nursery in preparation for our Halloween Parties on Monday. Our spooky spiders have been helping us with our counting, we had to count out 1 body, 2 eyes and 8 legs. We have been colour mixing when we made our pumpkin iced biscuits, we discovered red and yellow mixed together will make orange. Some of our morning children then helped carve our pumpkins, we noticed the the seeds from the pumpkin felt all slimy!

We will see you all on Monday dressed in your costumes (no masks please!) and ready to party!

Our planning at Bathgate West is changing, to see how our new child led and consultative planning is developing you can check out our Sway below, which illustrates our recent and ongoing learning journey here at Bathgate West.

Our floor book is always out on the nursery floor, so please feel free to take a look anytime you like and the Sway will continue to be updated as our learning journey progresses to keep checking the link.

 

Some of the children have been taking part in a music programme which is being run by Limelight music, exploring music, stories and songs. Fletcher, Gordon and Joseph were back again today with lots of fun, music and a story about a boy called Harris Dunn who quickly learned to listen to his parents!

Here are some photos of the children enjoying the musical experience, developing their confidence and communicating and expressing their ideas, thoughts and feelings through musical activities.
