Transition to Balbardie Primary School
On Friday Balbardie PS welcomed our nursery children for a fun filled stay and play morning. The children attended P2’s fantastic Safari themed assembly where some of our children’s siblings were performing. We then joined Mrs Mansfield and Miss Holwill for story time and a P1 classroom experience followed by a run around in the infant playground.
Please continue to check our Twitter @WLBEYC, BLOG and transition notice board for any transition updates.

Wrigley Litter Less Campaign – THANK YOU
A big thank you to all staff, children, parents and members of our community who have supported BEYC in our participation in the Wrigley Litter Less Campaign over the last few months. We have now submitted our final report for the Campaign and it was fantastic to discover that the amount of litter we found actually decreased each time. (and also the number of trolleys in the burn went down from 8 to 1!) We saw a heron bird near the water for the first time on our walk on Wednesday. The children were really happy about this as they will often mention that litter is dangerous for animals and birds. We enjoyed a “Green Day” on Wednesday to celebrate being awarded another eco green flag and this also coincided with a day of litter picking in the nursery grounds as part the National Spring Clean with Keep Scotland Beautiful. Lovely to see Eric the dog again too.
Bathgate Procession Costumes
Mrs McKay and her helpers are doing a great job in preparing the costumes for Galaday but they could do with a bit more help. If you can spare anytime during the week or can take things home to work on please speak to Mrs McKay.
Granny Tonti was keen to bring the sewing machine into nursery to share her skills, many of our children were excited by the machine and spent a long period of time observing and holding the material. This practical life skill is something we are looking to develop in our Early Learning and Childcare setting, if you would like to assist with this please speak to staff members
‘Its noisy’
‘When you go really fast’
‘I can see the needle go up and down’
Thank you Granny Tonti
