We had great fun for Fairtrade fortnight doing lots of different activities including baking for our cafe and art. The theme this year was working together, I think you’ll agree that all the classes worked together to produce some great results!
Well done to our first group of swimmers who just completed their block at Bathgate Xcite.
They worked so hard, gaining confidence and developing skills in the early stages of buoyancy, co-ordination, spatial awareness, breathing, and entering and leaving the pool safely.
3 swimmers achieved their Beatlie Aqua Bronze Award and 1 swimmer was presented with a Beatlie Swimming Progress Award. Well done everyone ⭐ we are so proud of you 😊
Last week we held our Global Goals Week highlighting the 3 Goals we will be working toward over the year.
This year we will be highlighting the following Global Goals:
GG3: Good Health & Wellbeing
Some of us made smoothies and/ or fruit salads, we all participated in physical activities and daily story massage.
GG12: Responsible Consumption
Beatlie display great responsibility with their consumption and we daily participate in recycling daily recyclables and through our art and craft activities we enjoy upcycling something from school to make something new. Some of us had fun taking part in these activities over the week.
GG15: Life on Land
We enjoyed fun participating in a Biodiversity Hunt in the garden finding bug hotels, hedgehog house etc. We also got messy making Bird Feeders and doing some gardening as well as making the most of the weather and observing nature all around us while going on community walks.

Today 4 of our athletes represented Beatlie at the ASN Fun Run at Cedarbank School.
The boys took part in the 0.5km walk/run 🏃♂️➡️ and placed 4th, 9th and 12th out of 20 competitors.
In the 1km wheelchair race our female athlete came 1st!! 🥳
We are super proud of them as this was a really busy event with lots of new faces and an unfamiliar route.
On Wednesday we all took part in a fun filled sports afternoon. Lots of our families joined us and they also had the opportunity to meet next year’s teacher.

A little bit of rain hasn’t stopped us from getting out there on our walks this week! For our final week of walking week, each class went on a walk and collected some natural materials in the environment, experiencing all of the sights, smells and feelings of all of our findings. When we got back to school we put our materials to good use and made a lovely display board at the front of the school with our wonderful creations! What do you think? We think it looks great!
Well done everyone on another successful walking month of May!
Another busy week for all the children in Beatlie getting out and about this walking month. This week we went on a sound walk – we found all the pictures of the rainforest animals and used our talking buttons to play the sound that they make. This was lots of fun and some of the animals sounds made us laugh! Lots of nice sunny weather for us this week too – hopefully it keeps up for us into next week!
Happy International Walking Month!! The theme for this years walking month is the rainforest and how reducing our carbon footprint will help the rainforest and the animals that live there. This week each class has gone on a local walk and have been on the hunt for some rainforest animals on their way.
See how many you can spot in our photographs….
Today some of our learners attended the ASN Football Festival at Broxburn Athletic FC. They had a fantastic time, working on kicking and dribbling skills, and especially enjoyed playing a a giant game of hungry hippos!
This week Beatlie got to experience and participate in Spring Clean Week. A chance to tidy up the garden areas and local community before we break for the holidays!
The weather was perfect for us all to get out and about in the gardens and local community for all to litter pick.
This all helps our environment too!
