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! 🌟

Drama

March 18, 2026 Miss Sweet Leave a comment

Drama has been up and running since after the February break and it’s been lots of fun. Some children have been exploring sea life sensory under the sea. Another group have been taking turns to drive a bus to the harbour, then hopping on boats across the sea on adventures. Other children have been swimming in the sea, riding dolphins and being chased by sharks. A lot of fun, craziness and laughter.

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

Well done everyone, we are super proud of you 🌟

Hopetoun

Winter term in Hopetoun class

December 20, 2025 Mrs Devlin Leave a comment

Wow, what a quick and busy term we have had in Hopetoun. We have made the most of being able to go on the minibusses so we have been to Dobbies and the centre to see all the Christmas lights and listen to the Christmas music, we even got to smell Christmas at Dobbies! We have had a visit from the pantomime and we have enjoyed going to see the special visitors in our garden. We have enjoyed playing with the snowballs but these ones are a bit warmer than real ones.

The term has not all been about Christmas though- we had great fun at our MATP event and it was very encouraging to have so much support. It was lovely being able to show off all the new skills we have been learning. Some of us have been to swimming at Bathgate and we have even started horse riding at riding for the disabled at Ravelrig.

We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year!

We have had a fantastic festive term in the Pentland class! We have had a ball taking part in all of our Christmas activities, parties and shows and have been full of festive cheer and joy.

We have continued to work hard on all of our individual targets and routines and constantly impress everyone with our confidence and enthusiasm in all we do.

We are looking forward to spending time with our families over Christmas and coming back ready for our next term of fun and adventures!
