Pentland – Term 1

October 6, 2022 Mrs Kerr Leave a comment

Ahoy Me Hearties from the Pentland Pirates!

What a busy (and quick!) first term here in Pentland. We started the year with a Pirate theme which we explored through various activities including art, cooking, sensory play, stories, dressing-up and physical games and activities…

Pirates was also the theme for our Class Charter…

We had a visit from Cool Creatures…

We looked for signs of Autumn during an Autumn Scavenger Hunt and used our senses to explore autumnal objects…

But our highlight has definitely been horse riding…

Our art wall so far with boats, treasure maps, treasure chests, leaf hedgehogs and shaving foam art…

Hope everyone has a great holiday and we’ll see you next term for the countdown to Christmas!!

Ukraine Collection Update

THANK YOU!!!

What an amazing response to our appeal – we even had donations from members of the local community and our neighbour Letham Primary!

Yesterday I filled my car, so today I brought my big car…..and I still ran out of space and had to call on help!

We had so many donations of wipes and nappies, plus some baby powder and food, so we have donated some of these to a charity preparing baby boxes to make sure everything gets to where it is needed the most.

Yesterday…

Today…

Thank you again to everyone who donated, you are all amazing!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

What more is there to say, our Beatlie families have risen to the challenge again!

We have collected an amazing amount already but there is still time to send in any donations before midday tomorrow (Thursday 3rd March).

I am going to drop-off all the donations made so far this afternoon as I think if I wait till tomorrow it won’t all fit in my car!!!

All donations from the original list will be gratefully received but in particular we are looking for:

children’s medication
adult painkillers
nappy cream
bandages
plasters
antiseptic creams & sprays
medical gloves
batteries
torches
feminine products
toothpaste & toothbrushes

Thank you all for being soooooo amazing!!!

I can’t believe it’s almost the end of another term!

We have been VERY busy in Hopetoun exploring lots of seasonal themes, raising money for Children in Need and Save the Children, and celebrating Book Week Scotland and the UNICEF Outright Campaign. Phew!!!

Here’s a few snapshots of our learning….
