Ochiltree

We have had another super busy term in Ochiltree, it’s absolutely flown in and we can’t believe it’s already the end of another school year. We’ve had lots of fun this term, some of our favourite activities were completing our mini marathon and getting stuck into our gardening project. We went for a visit to Dobbies to choose some plants and we loved looking at the fish in the aquarium. We’ve also been really enjoying exploring all the different recreation opportunities out in the community such as golf, yoga, bowling, shopping and art and we had a super end of term trip to the farm where we enjoyed seeing all the animals and having fun in the outdoor play areas.

Team Ochiltree wish you all a safe and healthy summer!

Term 3 in Ochiltree

Well what a busy term this has been in Ochiltree! We’ve had some really important responsibilities this term including planning, preparing and running our pre-loved clothing event and Comic Relief cafe and we’ve been making the most of having our school buses to get out and about in the community. We’ve been shopping, testing out some cafe’s and a definite favourite has been our trips to the duck pond and the library at the Lanthorn. We also had lots of fun during Science week exploring animals and how they adapt and we’ve had an absolute blast with our Space topic! We were also lucky enough to make some new furry four legged friends during our Theraponies sessions. Happy Easter to you all!!

Comic Relief 2025

What a busy week we had last week on the run up to Comic Relief, we all worked really hard in art and cooking to prepare for our cafe. It was lovely to see everyone who came along and there was lots of games, music, prizes and delicious cakes and bakes. To top it off we managed to raise £501.75 so a huge thank you to everyone who contributed.

Ochiltree Term 2

We’ve had another super busy term in Ochiltree and we’re all definitely ready for our Christmas break! This term we’ve been working really hard developing our communication skills and have been enjoying lots of opportunities to use these across the school using our individual communication aids to deliver lots of messages. One of our favourite days this term was Universal Childrens Day where Ochiltree took over from the 2 Debbie’s for the day, we were so busy and we were all very happy to swap back!! We’ve been busy exploring a variety of different kitchen measures in cooking to make lots of yummy snacks and we have been participating in some cross class groups with our friends from other classes for PE, health groups and more recently for our Christmas activity groups. We’ve been practising lots for our Christmas performance which we’re all looking forward to showing you this week.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Team Ochiltree

Welcome back from Ochiltree!!

It’s been lovely to welcome everyone back after the holidays, all our Ochiltree pupils have settled in brilliantly and have been enjoying getting to know their new peers and staff. We’ll be sharing lots of our learning with you soon but for now we wanted to say welcome back and introduce you to the team!

Hopetoun Roundup!

We can hardly believe that this time last year we were packing up the old school ready for our move and now here we are settled and thriving in our amazing new environment. We have enjoyed so many new experiences and opportunities and are looking forward to many more as we all move on. This term has been so busy and we hope you enjoy our video which highlights some of what we’ve been up to better than any words can!

Hopetoun News

This term has been absolutely jam packed with fun, it’s been lovely to welcome so many family and friends into school to celebrate different events with us and we’ve been enjoying lots of opportunities to get out and about. Some of our favourites events this term have been the Burn’s ceilidh,  Science week and Storytelling week where we’ve had the best time joining all our friends from across the whole school to take part in lots of different activities, anything that involves music and dance is a definite hit for Hopetoun!! We’ve also been doing lots of work exploring and promoting our Rights Respecting and Global Goals work, here’s just a small selection of what we’ve been up to!

Hope you all have a lovely Easter break, none of us can quite believe that we’ve reached this time of year already!!
