We have been celebrating all week at Bathgate West Nursery! First it was Pancake Day on Tuesday and then we looked at how the Chinese celebrate their New Year on Thursday. We sampled some delicious Chinese foods, made Chinese lanterns and even had our own Good Luck Dragon Dance carnival around the nursery!

The Eco group would like to thank everyone for helping recycling so many Christmas cards and stamps over the festive period.

We collected over 1000 Christmas Cards which were handed into the Marks and Spencer’s Recycling scheme and as a result The Woodland Trust will be able to plant 1 new tree on behalf of Bathgate West Nursery!

We also collected almost 2000 stamps for recycling which were sent away and turned into cash for REACH Charity, which supports children with upper limb differences. So again, thank you for help us make a little difference.

The Eco Group will be busy again very soon, attempting to reduce waste and recycling more items! We will be holding a Book Swap in the nursery in March so look out for details coming very soon!

As always our recycle station at the nursery is looking for used batteries, old phones and used ink cartridges to recycle, and we are always looking for junk materials to recycle in our Craft area.

Thank you for your help and support.

It has been a busy week here at the Bathgate West  Nursery. Our Discovery Lab Topic is proving very popular with our budding scientists and we have been making potions, volcanoes and even creating electrical circuits! As part of our exploration of sounds we also had a very special Samba lesson where we all had an opportunity  create some Samba music together. It certainly has been a busy, noisy and fun week at Nursery!

A big thank you to all the parents and grandparents that made it along to our Stay, Play and Learn sessions this week. The children enjoyed showing you around their nursery and getting you involved in all of their favourite activities. It was lovely to see you all and we greatly appreciate all of your feedback.

I have also attached the February newsletter for you to have a look at.  February 2015

Have a lovely weekend.

Hello Everyone. What a day we have had celebrating Scottish culture and Robert Burns at Bathgate West Nursery! We have held our own Burns Supper where the children enjoyed some Scottish songs and poems from some Balbardie pupils before tucking into their Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, followed by short bread and some Scottish dancing. We even had a real piper in to play the bagpipes for us and he wore his kilt for us too. It has been a busy and fun day for all and thank you for wearing your tartan and helping us to celebrate Burns Day !
