Ochiltree Term 1

October 6, 2022 Miss McNaughton Leave a comment

Ochiltree has had a fantastic start to the year and we have had a great time learning, having fun and getting to know each other.

We were busy the first couple of weeks making displays for our Class Charter and our Target work. Our theme being balloons. So we had a fun photo shoot to help make the display.

The boys have been enjoying our Boys Group that we have started – they are going to have the girls heads turning by the end of the year they will be looking and smelling so good! They have been really motivated and trying hard to help themselves with their own personal care and we are looking forward to seeing how well they come on over the year.

The children are working hard to achieve their IEP targets as well as ASDAN and SQA quaalifications. They are working well individually to carry out class jobs/home chores as well as physical exercises and trying out new experiences such as rebound, archery, meeting new animal friends and peers.

We hope you all have a great holiday and we are looking forward to the next term and all things Christmasy! x

Busy first term in Glendevon

October 6, 2022 Miss Sweet Leave a comment

The children have settled into school life well, adjusting to their new classroom, peers and teachers fine.

This term we have been learning about day and night, exploring that the moon comes out at night and the sun comes out in the day. We have also investigated what animals that come out in the night and day. The children loved playing a sleeping game and waking each other up with a rooster sound, lots of laughing during this!

We have also been enjoying walks in the community, investigating the changes in seasons.

We will look forward to next term-being busy with autumn, fireworks and winter themed activities. Enjoy your October holidays!

International School Award

September 27, 2022 Miss McNaughton Leave a comment

It is with great delight to announce the achievement of the International School Award from the British Council.

The Foundation level of the International School Award is for schools embarking on their international journey. It is ideal for schools that:

are introducing the concept of internationalism,
are getting ready to form an international partnership,
have conducted at least one international classroom activity.

Beatlie have achieved this accolade through a partnership we formed with 2 schools in West Lothian and 1 in Africa.

We worked very hard on this partnership on 3 different areas:

# Gardening: From Earth to Plate

# Health, Mind & Body

# Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We have enjoyed the partnership and plan to continue with international and local relationships to continue with our Learning for Sustainability throughout the curriculum and throughout the school.

We will be looking to further our experiences and join with other schools to participate in the ‘Climate Change Challenge’.
