A fantastic end to our Spring Clean Week with a whole school litter pick.
Thank you to all the pupils and staff for their great effort in helping to look after our environment and keep our local community looking clean and tidy.

Ochiltree Term 2
Another year and another term over just like that!
What another wonderful term with the children of Ochiltree. We have been a busy bunch being involved with whole school events, Asdan challenges, Learning for Sustainability activities and having lots of fun!
We are so glad we invited our friends to join us for our St Andrews Day Ceilidh and we had a blast! We have continued to go outside in all weathers to make use of the Drive Deck, the playground and also the environment – nothing puts this lot off!
We are continuing to develop our independent skills during cooking activities, class jobs and our communication challenges throughout our school day and we have been lucky to add horseriding to the list too!
From all in Ochiltree have a fantastic Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
International Day of Persons with Disabilities
St Andrews Day Celebration Ceilidh
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.
