Try at home challenge ” Roadside litter scavenger hunt ”
Hello everyone .
Did you know that 475 pieces of litter are dropped every minute in Scotland? We are really good at putting our litter in the bin at BEYC as we know it is not safe or good for the environment. Have you noticed any litter when on a walk with your family? We NEED YOU to help but not by picking up the litter but by taking part in a litter survey on your next walk.
All you need to do is either count all the pieces of litter you see and write them down as tally marks on a piece of paper. Alternatively you can use the survey sheet attached to tick each time you see a certain type of litter.
KEEP SCOTLAND BEAUTIFUL say if we know how, where and what types of litter are causing a problem in our community, we then have a better idea of how to fix the problem.
Taking part in a litter survey is a great way for people of all ages to enjoy some exercise while making a real, visible difference to the environment at the same time.
Make sure you’re following government guidelines on social distancing.
You will need:
- Survey sheets – print ours or make your own
- Pen or pencil
- Hand sanitiser
Please share your results with us with
hashtag #EcoSchoolsAtHome

Try at home challenge : Den building ,supports children’s independent learning skills.
Hello everyone 🙂
Everyone knows that Harry really likes ” The Very Hungry Caterpillar ” story. Last week, While listening the Very Hungry Caterpillar story and looking at the pictures Harry commented on which food on which food he really liked to eat.
This week, Harry felt inspired by listening to the next part of the story……
‘‘Now he wasn’t hungry any more ,and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more.He was a big ,fat caterpillar. He built a small house ,called a cocoon .’‘
So Harry decided to build a small house / den, just like the caterpillar built its small house called the cocoon. Together with Miss Collins Harry built beautiful den using blankets and sheets.
Try at home challenge ...
So do you also want to take the challenge, and how Harry build his own indoor or outdoor den /house ?
Building dens enable children to develop and strengthen their creative skills, deciding on not only structure but appearance too. You can offer a range of materials and tools to support their decision making and creative thinking. This activity enables children the space and time to create something individual to themselves and spark their imagination. Resources such as blankets, sheets, wooden pegs, boxes or ribbon can be used to create dens. Building activities will support gross and fine motor skills, whilst developing good hand-eye coordination.
Please share your den building journey with your nursery friends by sending us photos, videos.
Good luck everyone 🙂
