Yesterday we had a fantastic Pyjama day launching our Big Bed Time read, after the Pre-school children picked their books pack we celebrated with hot chocolate & cookies while listening to some of our favourtie stories read by Miss Toner.
Book packs will go home with Pre School children each Wednesday and to be returned every Monday.
Happy Reading!
We would like to invite all parents/carers to join our Parent Craft Group, starting on Wednesday 24th October 2018.
The purpose of the craft group is to demonstrate new skills and to use expertise as we prepare goods for our Christmas Fair, which takes place at the end of November. It is a relaxing way to be creative, chat and have some fun with other parents/carers in our Nursery.
The group will run during the morning and afternoon session on a Wednesday, for 5 weeks, taking us right up to the date of the Fair.
Time: 9.00am-11.00am- 1.00 pm-3.00pm.
If you are interested in coming along and supporting your child, and the work which goes on in the Nursery, please speak to Mrs Todd.
Everyone is welcome!
Dear Parents/Carers,
Early years Maths PEEP group for Anti-preschool children will begin on 31ST October 2018 , and will run for 6 weeks.
Like the other PEEP groups at BEYC, parents/carer’s will work in partnership with their child to support their leaning. PEEP recognises that learning works best when the world is understood from the child’s point of view. PEEP is about making the most of everyday activities in a fun and enjoyable way.
If you would like to attend with your child please speak to Mrs Ola or Mrs. Todd ASAP as spaces are limited.
For more information about PEEP please see website: http://www.peep.org.uk/
Yours sincerely
Mrs Ola
At Bathgate Early Years Centre we encourage the children to play and explore open ended and loose part resources. (Versatile items and materials which can become anything a child envisions)
This week the children helped to revamp the music area and had a great idea of how they could really make it their own, Please have a look at our Sway below to see…
At Bathgate Early Years we ’embrace risk in a positive sense rather than limiting valuable experience’.
Over the past week the nursery staff have been working alongside the children to asses the risks and benefits of working with real tools in nursery. Some of our Pre-school children could remember how they kept themselves safe last year and shared this with our Anti-Pre children.
‘Daddy’s got a super sharp tool, I’ll be careful with the saw’
‘That’s a ginormous screw, It’s sticking and picks things up (Magnet)
‘Daddy had a big nail in his tyre’
‘If i’m not careful I could cut my finger off’
‘Put goggles on’
‘If you have your goggles on and the hammer hit your eye, then your eye would be okay because your wearing glasses’
‘We be responsible by picking up the nails when the magnet to tidy up’
‘We need glasses to keep safe’
‘My dad has a saw’
‘Why should we keep the tools down low?’
‘We could hurt someone’
‘Where should we put the tools when we are finishes?’
‘We put it back on the bench’
‘We could trip over it’
‘You could cut yourself’
‘You could hurt someone, my pops has a hammer and he fixes things’
‘We need to share and be nice to others’
‘Keep tools on the bench so no one trips up’
Later that day the afternoon children were faced with challenge to remove a door which required real tools…
‘We need the screw drivers’
– ‘That’s pointy’
‘We don’t need the saw’
‘I am strong, I can help’
