As you may already be aware Bathgate Early Years Centre is an Eco School. Children and Mrs Ola and Miss Heenan have been working extremely hard to develop our Eco area and bird hide in nursery.
This month we are learning about;
- the importance of saving water and how we can do this in nursery by recycling rainwater and left over water from snack to water our plants.
- growing plants and beans from seed and observing and measuring the stages of growth and what we need to do to enable them to grow.
- caring for our garden birds and beginning to identify them by sight and sound. Have you heard all about the big giant pigeon that visits our garden and eats up all the bird food? Sometimes we are visited by a grey squirrel too!
We also had a special visit from a landscape gardener this week. Miss Robertson’s brother Jamie helped us learn all about his job and what we can do at nursery to grow and care for our plants. He brought along lots of tools and explained what he uses them for at work. He kindly donated sunflower seeds, pots and compost to enable us to grow lovely yellow sunflowers we can plant in our garden when it is summer time and a bit warmer outside. Thank you very much Miss Robertson and Jamie!
