Take a look at the fun we all had celebrating St Andrew’s Day in nursery (A day early due to our Christmas Fair tomorrow)
Sing-A-Long 2017 Song Booklet
This year’s Nativity story is ‘The Sleepy Shepherd’ by Niki Davies. In December, children will dress up as the characters and perform a Nativity sing-a-long for parents/carers and grandparents. This booklet contains the words to the songs and if you search for ‘The Sleepy Shepherd’ on YouTube it will help you to learn the tunes to practice at home.
Children in Need at BEYC
Thank you to everyone who helped raise money for Children in Need 2017 by coming to nursery in something spotty and donating to the charity. Together we raised a fantastic £107.31.
Look out for Bathgate Early Years Centre getting a mention along the bottom of the screen tonight on the show (Friday 17th November at 7:30pm on BBC 1)
Try at Home Literacy Ipad App.
We are beginning to use a fun literacy Ipad app called Our Story to help develop language skills through creating digital books and we would like to share our digital ‘Our Stories’ with you at home. The digital books will aim to help develop vocabulary by focusing on key words from children’s topics of interest. Children will take photos, video clips, record their voices and be supported in tying the text in order to create their digital book.
“The stories that you create can be sent to another iPad which has the Our Story app installed. This will be exactly the same story as the one you created. The person who receives this story can then view it and if they want can edit the story, and even send it back to you. For those who do not have an iPad you can send them a PDF file (i.e. pictures and text but no sound) which can be viewed or printed. We provide a range of printing options which include the possibility of creating small booklets.”
The App is a free download
If you would like support in using this app please see Miss Wilkinson or Miss Kelly.
Keep an eye out for our Nativity digital book coming soon! We can share it with you via email.
