Wet Wheels Adventure

What a day—what a crew! 🚤✨ Who knew we had so many talented skippers in the making?

Two groups of pupils from both primary and secondary took to the water at Wet Wheels, Port Edgar—and it was unforgettable.

Everyone had a turn at the helm, and while we loved the thrill of speed, the highlight had to be spinning donuts and making waves! 🌊😄

We were even lucky enough to spot Derek the dolphin, along with seals and puffins! 🐬🦭🐧

Safe to say, the staff had just as much fun as the pupils! 😄🙌

 

Theatre Trip

Some pupils from across the school have visited the Lyra Theatre in Edinburgh this week to be part of the immersive performance ‘Brrr’. There were snowballs, woolly jackets, confetti, wind machines and lots of music, lights and dancing. It was such a lovely show and everyone’s smiles showed us how much fun they were having.

ASN Athletics Festival

This morning Thea, Lewis, Riley, Jaxson, Madison and Jeet represented Beatlie at the ASN Active Schools Athletics Festival.

Things got a little competitive (especially between the adults 😉😂), but everyone tried so hard and had lots of fun.  We saw lots of independent movement and brilliant engagement from all our young athletes!

Fischy music night

On Thursday 19th March we had a family night at Beatlie with a live Fischy music performance. There were pupils, siblings, staff, family and friends who all came along to sing, dance, listen and enjoy each other’s company. They sang lots of our favourites such as ‘You are a star’ and ‘Build Up’. We can’t wait to welcome them back next term to work in some of the classes.

 

Term 3 Swimming 🏊

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Our swimmers have been working incredibly hard at Bathgate Xcite this term, and their progress has been amazing to see!

On Friday mornings, our Group 3 and 4 swimmers — Sean, Muhammad, Freddie, Frankie, Jaxson, Denny, and Ruaridh — smashed it with 2 Aqua Bronze Awards and 5 Progress Awards achieved between them! Fantastic effort from everyone.

On Thursday afternoons, Fletcher continued his brilliant development towards his Aqua Silver Award. He was joined by Ethan and Stanley, who also made excellent progress towards their Silver Awards, and Alex, who proudly achieved his Aqua Diamond Award!

Well done, everyone — we are all super proud of you! 🌟

Of course we couldn’t read Peppa’s One Big family without spending some time jumping in muddy puddles too.

 

 

ASN Boccia and Curling Festival

Today 8 of our athletes represented Beatlie at the ASN Boccia & Curling Festival at West Lothian College.

Well done everyone, we are super proud of you 🌟

World Childrens Day 2025

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!
