This afternoon we got the fire pit out and together begun to make the fire.
The children helped shred the wood , put twigs and sticks into the fire pit and made a spark with the flint.
Throughout the fire pit activity ,children developed their awareness of fire safety rules.
Please see the children comments : ”If you touch the fire you will get burn ” Millie ”Yes and this is very sore” Rhodes ” We not allow to go over the yellow line ” Amelia ” Only an adult can set the fire up ” Aleksander
” Water puts fire out ” Millie
And then children’s curiosity ……………
”Why is the smoke white” Rhodes
‘Why dose the fire dance ” ” Looks like orange” Millie ” Why dose smoke smell like that ” Conner ” Can we cook in the fire ” Rhodes
‘‘ Yeah Marshmallows” Amelia ”Burned toast” Rhodes
”Chocolate ” Mirac

It was a beautiful sunny day to set the afternoon butterflies free. We sat up on the hill in the sunshine and watched them fly off up into the sky and to the trees. We have been responsibly caring for them and nurturing them since they arrived as tiny baby caterpillars! You can also view the video on the TV screen in nursery.
So much joy and excitement this morning, releasing our very special butterflies! We have been responsibly caring for them and nurturing them since they arrived as tiny baby caterpillars. You can view the full video, captured by the children on the GoPro action camera on the TV screen in nursery.

Thank you Miss Arkless at Boghall Primary for sending us a video of the chicks that hatched in nursery. They are getting so big! Here they are in her garden enjoying the sun yesterday. Jess the Collie is very good at looking after them!
In an earlier post we mentioned children’s learning is recorded and extended through Learning Stories.
Learning Stories are a consultative model of planning, led by the children.
Learning Stories at BEYC are very much influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach; making learning visible and highly valuing the child’s voice and contributions from home.
Our Learning Stories are collated onto Sway (Microsoft Office Sway is an online interactive presentation programme) which is great for revisiting Learning Stories, both in nursery and at home.
Please have a look at the key points about BEYC’s Learning Stories below.
This short video is also very helpful for understanding this approach to documenting learning and planning.
