Transition Visit to Balbardie Primary School

The pre-school children who have selected Balbardie Primary School as one of their school choices were kindly invited to watch the P2 Caterpillar Boogie show today. We traveled in the Rainbow Nursery bus with children from Bathgate West nursery and watched the children perform the show on the big stage.

Katie – ‘We went to Balbardie, watching a show about Butterfly and caterpillars. We went on Rainbow school bus’.

Kieran – ‘About caterpillars at my big brothers school’

Kyle – ‘I liked the butterfly and I saw my brother’

Thank you Balbardie PS and Rainbow Nursery we had great fun!

Fairtrade Fortnight

Bathgate Early Years Centre had a very busy Fairtrade Fortnight. We would like to thank everyone who has taken part over the two weeks. Wraparound boys and girls took a trip to Scotmid and Freddie and Alfie also took a trip to Morrisons to pick kindly donated goodies for our raffle. The raffle raised a fabulous £72.75 which will be sent to Comic Relief along with money raised on Wednesday 22nd March for our Crazy Hair day. Thank you to Morrisions, Tesco and Scotmid for your donations.
Please look out for the red noses which will be on sale in the foyer!
The children have also been on the look out for the Fairtrade logo on empty packaging to bring to nursery. We have put the packaging to good use by following Ethan and Christie’s great idea to make a Fairtrade and watermelon shop in nursery.

Kyla “I saw a Fairtrade on a kit kat at my granny’s house.”
Rogan “I saw Fairtrade on chocolate.”
Violet”This is Fairtrade, mummy got it for her birthday.”(maltesers) “I got a Fairtrade kit kat from gran.”
Freddie “Look Fairtrade. My daddy gave me this.”(maltesers)
Aidan “I found Fairtrade on ice cream and on Nanny’s bananas.”
Diarmid”I got these for Fairtrade (maltesers) and I got them from swimming.”
Lucas “I got this from Morrisons. Hot chocolate. Look Fairtrade!”
James “I got this from Lidl and it’s Fairtrade.”
Christie “I got the Fairtrade flowers in Aldi.”
Alfie”The farmers get money if they make Fairtrade food. Money for clothes and houses.”
Emily R “It’s Fairtrade.”(chocolate)
Katie “It’s Fairtrade sweeties.”
Freddie “Fairtrade means the farmer gets more money so it’s fair. They use it to buy things”
