Term 1 in Hopetoun

What a fabulous first term we have had in Hopetoun! We’ve been so busy exploring our amazing new school and have especially enjoyed being out in our incredible garden where there is so much to do. We’ve also had lots of lovely new experiences indoors using our new sensory room, soft play, the drama/music room and the art room. It was lovely having you all come to visit and am sure you all think it’s as amazing as we do!

Team Hopetoun wish you all a lovely October break and look forward to all the exciting things that are to come next term. We hope you enjoy our video showing some of the fun we have been having…..

Term 4 in Hopetoun

We can’t quite believe that we already find ourselves approaching the end of the school year, how time flies when you’re having fun!! It’s been a year full of adventures, experiences and fun in Hopetoun and there’s lots more in store for when we move into to our fabulous new campus after the holidays.

This term we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy lots of outdoor experiences in the sunshine including taking on a whole school walking challenge for the month of May which we smashed! We’ve been practicing lots of useful skills so hopefully there are some helping hands with jobs around the house and we rounded off the term with a trip to 5 Sisters Zoo.

We hope you enjoy looking at our photos and we wish everyone a happy and healthy summer.

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!!
