Visit to Morrisons

A small group of children were recently invited to visit Morrisons to out find out where our food comes from and to find out about the jobs people do at Morrisons. This visit also supported our ongoing eco schools work at Bathgate Early Years Centre and our links to the local community.  Thank you to Keith the store manager for allowing the visit to take place and to Lorna the Morrisons Community Champion  for organising the visit and showing us around on the day.  We also met and worked with Isabella at the salad bar, Brian and Andrea at the butchers, Kay the fishmonger and David and Shirley at the bakery.

Logan “ We made some pizzas with mushrooms and cheese and made burgers.  We made cakes with strawberries.”

Sophia “I liked everything at Morrisons.  We made burgers and we made pizzas with mushrooms.  We saw an octopus.”

Ethan “We learned how food got made at Morrisons.  We saw the butchers and the fish bit.  We saw the big oven  and the rolls went inside.  We went upstairs and got our aprons on and our hair nets so you don’t get hair on the food.  I liked the octopus.”

Rogan “We made pizzas and saw the octopus brain at Morrisons.  I used cream and a strawberry to make a cake.  It was yummy.”

Abigail “I liked when we made everything at Morrisons.  There was burgers and cupcakes with strawberries on the top.”

Nadia “We all made pizza and cookies.  I saw spinning machine for doughnuts.  A man was making circle of something (burger) and he used his hand to flat the circle.”

Maja ”Maja looked at a lady cutting a squid and looking at a man doing some meat’

Exciting Writing…

Please come into nursery to have a look at our graphics area display. The children have been practicing their name and environmental print writing. We even had some fantastic ‘bubble writing’. Some children attempted the challenge of copying the Chinese symbols to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Learning about Vegetables with Tracey

Tracey, (Bathgate’s Tesco Community Champion) came to visit us in nursery, we read ‘The Giant Turnip’ story and then began to discuss where vegetables grow either underground or above ground. We also had a yummy taster session where we tried a variety of vegetables such as spring onion, cucumber, leeks, beetroot, broccoli, parsnip, potatoes, celery, turnip, cabbage and carrots.

Thank you Tracey!

Celebrating Burns Day

On Burns day ‘Granny Janet’ (Erin’s Gran ) visited nursery to share some fantastic Scottish stories, songs and poems with the children and staff. The children loved getting involved with the new songs and poems and were very eager to listen to the tales such as Greyfriars Bobby. At the end of the sessions Mrs Mckay  had very kindly cooked us all a Burns supper of ‘Haggis, Neeps and tatties’ It was a great!
