Term 3 in Hopetoun

This term has absolutely flown by and we’re so excited to finally see the beginnings of Spring outside!!

We’ve had another busy term getting involved in our school Eco work, Fairtrade activities, Comic Relief and had the best time at our Burns Ceilidh. We’ve also been busy starting our new topic all about people who help us in school and have had fun taking photo’s of people we find who help us as well as getting involved in some of the jobs that they do and we’ll be continuing this topic after the Easter holidays.

We hope you all have a lovely Easter.

Hopetoun News Term 2

This term has gone by in a flash and no-one can quite believe Christmas is upon us!! We have been super busy in Hopetoun rounding off our ‘In the Garden’ topic, having lots of spooky Halloween fun and helping put together our very own Beatlie ‘Going on a Bee Hunt’ story as part of Scottish Book Week. We enjoyed a Live Music Now café and in Hopetoun we feel proud to have donated to a local charity called West Lothian Schoolbank who provide clothing for children who need it. We’ve managed to fit in a couple of trips to the café which we have all loved and are looking forward to getting out and about in the community much more after the winter break. Our last couple of weeks have been full of Christmas spirit, we were lucky enough to have the Snow White panto come to Beatlie and have enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch, we finished off our festivities with a primary Christmas party with lots of games and music and of course a very special visitor!!

Sending big Christmas wishes to everyone, Team Hopetoun are looking forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year!!

World Smile Day 2022

A smile is never far away in Beatlie so celebrating World Smile Day was no challenge at all! The theme of World Smile Day is to ‘do an act of kindness, help make someone smile’, things we do every single day. We did however take part in some additional smiley activities which you can see in the following photos and which we hope will make you smile too. We enjoyed going on a Smile Hunt around school to find the hidden giant smiley faces and were on the lookout for lots of acts of kindness such as sharing, helping others and making someone laugh in our Classroom Scavenger Hunt. We also enjoyed ‘gifting’ lots of smiles to people who made us smile or who we wanted to make smile. We all worked together to create our giant Beatlie smiley which we hope you will love!!

Term 1 in Hopetoun…..

Our first term in Hopetoun has absolutely flown past and we can’t believe we’re already into October! We all settled in brilliantly to our new class and have enjoyed getting to know our new friends and adults. We’ve been busy with lots of activities such as cooking, art, relaxing, playing, and as well as learning lots of new things we have been having lots and lots of fun! We hope you all have a great October break and look forward to seeing everyone back after the holidays.
