Try at Home Station…
Please take a copy of ‘Baby Shark’ lyrics to practice before the procession, it is one of our favourite video clips to watch, sing and dance along to!
Warning… It is a very catchy song!

Thank you to all our enthusiastic Grandparents who came along yesterday and got stuck right in to all the activities and joined in at song time! Great fun was had by all!
We are really pleased to hear how many grandparents follow our learning and keep up to date with nursery news by visiting our Blog and follow our Twitter page.
Please have a look at our videos to find out what we got up to yesterday…………

The closing date to put your name down for the Gala Day now is 13.04.2018.
Mrs McKay needs to order the material from a company which takes a few weeks to arrive.
The list are filling up really quickly.
Please come in and have a look at the photos and examples of what our ‘Under The Sea’ themed costumes look like.
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.
Please come and join the fun of the procession costumes arts and crafts at Mrs McKay’s Gala Day Workshop! Tea, coffee, biscuits and Mrs McKay’s expertise all provided free of charge! 😊
Can you help us extend our learning all about Space?
Please add your ideas to our whiteboard idea thought bubbles in the foyer or in the comments below.
Our Out of this World Sway shows the direction children have taken their learning in so far, through the Learning Story model of Consultative Planning.

Today we said goodbye to our little chicks. We have loved watching them grow (even though we sadly missed them hatching due to the severe weather).
We had a lucky draw this morning and randomly selected names. Thank you for all your suggestions.
Do you remember we went to Morrisons in the August to plant bulbs on the grass area at the entrance? BEYC in the news.
Well have you saw what has happened? The bulbs are now starting to flower!
Thank you very much to Dylan and his mummy who have taken photos of the flowers and shared them with us!
Please have a look a the super file they have created……
Fantastic #sharinglearning well done!
