The Royal Highland Show 2015

On Thursday the wraparound children had a fantastic time at the Royal Highland Show.  They enjoyed getting up close with the animals and trying new experiences such a milking a cow, making a candle, tasting fresh honey and yummy treats and milk.  Everyone was very tired when they got back to nursery after having such a busy day and walking so far.  Thank you to our parent/grandparent helpers for making this trip possible.

On Friday in nursery, we tuned into Glow TV to discover even more about the animals on show at Ingliston.

Have a look at our photographs to find out more……

BEYC on the Glow Gallery!

At Bathgate Early Years Centre we use Glow to develop and extend children’s learning through participating in Glow TV events and hosting Glow meets and events of our own in the Early Years Meeting Room.  We were contacted from Education Scotland to share our good practice with education staff from all over Scotland on the Glow Gallery.

BEYC Space Station

We have enjoyed learning all about Space and the Solar System this term.  Our house corner transformed into a ‘space station’, we have been investigating ‘space goo’ and we were also lucky enough to be at nursery during a solar eclipse!

On the 24th of March the afternoon group took part in a Glow meet (video conferencing) with a real astronaut.  Over 100 schools from all over Scotland took part to ask Commander Chris Hadfield questions about his time as a commander of the International Space Station and his two shuttle missions in space.  We were extremely lucky to be selected to ask a question live on the webcam in front of all the other schools.  We all sat at the Smartboard (some of us dressed up in astronaut costumes!) to listen to Commander Hadfield, who called all the way from Mexico.  Our very important question was “Are there aliens in Space?” by Ava aged 3.  Ruby aged 3, very bravely stepped up to the webcam and asked the question on behalf on the nursery.

Thanks again to Jennifer McDougall form Education Scotland who organized another fantastic Glow meet.

Dinosaur Discoveries on Glow TV

On Tuesday, the afternoon group tuned into a live stream on Glow TV to learn about dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. It was fascinating to look at artefacts from National Museums Scotland, such as dinosaur foot prints, poo and fossils on the Smartboard. We discovered that some dinosaurs walked on two legs and some walked on four legs and did you know a new species of dinosaur with feathers has recently been discovered? How interesting! We had fun taking part in the quizzes, guessing which part of the dinosaur the bones belonged to.  Thank you to Jennifer McDougall from Education Scotland and Sara from National Museums Scotland for organising such an enjoyable event.
