Today 8 of our athletes represented Beatlie at the ASN Boccia & Curling Festival at West Lothian College.
Everyone had lots of fun and coped so well with the big, unfamiliar and very noisy hall!
Well done everyone, we are super proud of you 🌟

Well done everyone, we are all super proud of you! 🌟
World Children’s Day 2025
‘my day…. my rights’
‘From the moment the sun rises, children wake up to a world shaped by choices they didn’t make. But every child, everywhere, also wakes with rights. Including the right to be protected, to learn, and to have their voice heard’ (UNICEF)
To celebrate World Childrens Day we explored some of our rights through stories, games, food and sensory play. We hope you enjoy our video of some of the fun we had!
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.

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!
