”Switch of Day ”
Energy is one of our Eco topics. Together with the children, we looked at how small things can make a big difference every day to save energy throughout in our nursery building.
Today we had an amazing day in our center, we turned off the lights for one hour and lit candles in the whole building to save energy.
We have been discussing with children about heath and safety rules after lighting the candles in the nursery.
Please see children’s comments and the photos from our event ” Switch of day”.
"I like this black candle. The lights turned off to save energy"
"I also turn off the light at home".
"I like this big one".
"Very pretty."
"We can not touch them."
"Only teaches can touch candles"
"We can look at them, and I blow out the candles
''I turn off the lights in my house. ''
" I turn off the TV in my home. "
'' Save energy."

Wrigley Litter Less Campaign Update
Our launch day was a great success and had a real community feel as it not only involved our children, staff and parents but also people from our community and children from the eco committee at St Mary’s Primary School. Councillor Harry Cartmill visited the nursery and Laura White from Sustrans and Councillor Charles Kennedy also joined us on our litter picks on the cycle path.( Daily Record News Article) We collected 3kg 800g of litter on our first litter pick and we are hoping with your help to make a difference over the next three months. A big thank you to our parents who came along on our litter picks in January. We also enjoyed recycling activities and games with Tracey the Tesco Community Champion, West Lothian Cleaner Communities Team and Eric the Dog on our Launch Day.
