Today we had our first Ceilidh in the new school and it gets a thumbs up for a great place to get your kilts on and dance your socks off!
Have a look at our video of some of the children enjoying the music, the company and the dancing!

Unicef World Children’s Day 2023
Today marks World Children’s Day on the calendar and to celebrate the rights of the child we participated in all things blue.
Lots of pupils and staff wore blue in support and all pupils used blue materials to make a giant blue collage.
Take a look at how it came together.
World Food Day
This week in Beatlie we recognised World Food Day by making sensory bottles with the focus ‘Water is Life, Water is Food. Leave No One Behind’
World Food Day takes place annually on 16 October and promotes awareness of hunger and action for the future of food, people, and the planet.
Take a look at how much fun we all had making the bottles and how great they all look now they are finished.

Beatlie Scarecrow Festival 2023
Our first cafe in our new school and what a lovely morning we had joined by some strangers………..
Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the lovely baking the children prepared over the week.
Thank you to all the children and staff for decorating the hall and making fantastic scarecrows.
Everyone had the opportunity to vote for their favourite – although everyone is a winner, Peat was the peoples favourite on the day.
Enjoy watching the videos of us all preparing for the day and a second one showing us all enjoying the morning.
See you all again for our Children in Need cafe on 17th November.
Ochiltree Term 1
October already!!!
We cannot believe how quickly the first term has passed – and how much we have squeezed into the time we have had!
Of course much of it was getting to know our new school and environment- and we are loving it. We have been so lucky to get to experience so much outside with the weather on our side. The children are experiencing all the wonderful playground resources as well as the natural environment and of course the bikes and wheelchair track. We have also been busy doing some Autumn gardening and hopefully we will have lovely blooms in the spring to bring some colour to our class garden areas.
Moving inside and we have been trying out all the lovely new equipment and areas around the school – a favourite being the multi-sensory!
We have all been working hard on our life skills and Asdan qualifications through fun and meaningful activities. We are enjoying lots of interaction with the senior class and utilising our secondary area for getting together for snack, dinner and cross class activities.
We will continue to keep you updated in all we do through our Learners Journals but don’t forget to check Twitter and the Blog for whole school updates.
We wish you a happy holiday and look forward to continuing into the next term with new challenges ahead.
International Day of Peace 2023
Thursday 21st September was International Day of Peace.
To mark the day, Beatlie participated by listening to a song we are the world before drawing round our hands and making a chain of all our linked hands. We then make a finger dab in paint and marked our dove of peace.

Ochiltree Class of 22/23
Ochiltree Class of 22/23 have had a very busy, fun and challenging year and all the children have given it their all to be confident individuals, responsible citizens, effective contributors and successful learners.
For our last term we continued the theme of working hard and playing hard. For the walking month of May we went on our daily walks enjoying different sensory experiences of the different areas we visited. We also physically challenged ourselves to walk in/on different areas we would have avoided!
We were able to complete our Asdan, SQA and Duke of Edinburgh work of which I am sure we will get positive feedback for.
Our cross class activities were brilliant this year and all enjoyed each others company and interacting with each other for all the different activities such as assembly or outdoor play.
We have had lots of health and wellbeing activities from bike riding to mindfulness, gardening to rebound and boys/girls group for personal care. Some of the pupils also participated in a health group which was amazing! showing their resilience and bravery for accepting medical routines.
We have continued to have an effective whole school and community approach to Learning for Sustainability weaving together global citizenship, sustainable development education and outdoor learning to create coherent, rewarding and transformative learning experiences such as Earth Day, Fairtrade Tuck, gardening, outdoor numeracy activities, forest trails, walks and Eco activities.
We will be saying goodbye to our friend Duncan who will be moving on with best wishes from us all. We will all be saying goodbye to our building but look forward to new beginnings.
Have a fantastic holiday and see you all again for 2023/24!
Natural Art Gallery @ Beatlie
The whole school have thoroughly enjoyed the walking month of May.
Whilst out and about we all had opportunities to interact with nature and use our artistic minds to collate some beautiful artwork.
Take a look at our lovely art gallery 2023!
Beatlie Whole School Walk – Walking Month
All the pupils and staff from Beatlie were joined by some family and friends to go on a whole school walk as part of our walking month.
The weather was on our side and we had a cracking morning walking around Craigshill and up to the new school.
We are virtual walking from John O’Groates to Lands End and this walk has been added to our total……………
This week we have managed a whopping 219 miles!!!
So I have calculated that we have reached Dunkeld
Amazing Bealtie Keep up the good work.
