We have had a fantastic start to the year in Lomond, everyone has settled in really well and we have been doing lots of fun activities.
Have a lovely break everyone and we’ll see you after the holidays.
Autumn term in Lomond class
Duke of Edinburgh Expedition!
World Mental Health Day
We braved the rain to wrap the school in green ribbon for World Mental Health Day, giving ourselves a big green hug!!!
Pentland – Term 1
Ahoy Me Hearties from the Pentland Pirates!
What a busy (and quick!) first term here in Pentland. We started the year with a Pirate theme which we explored through various activities including art, cooking, sensory play, stories, dressing-up and physical games and activities…
Pirates was also the theme for our Class Charter…
We had a visit from Cool Creatures…
We looked for signs of Autumn during an Autumn Scavenger Hunt and used our senses to explore autumnal objects…
But our highlight has definitely been horse riding…
Our art wall so far with boats, treasure maps, treasure chests, leaf hedgehogs and shaving foam art…
Hope everyone has a great holiday and we’ll see you next term for the countdown to Christmas!!
Term 1 in Hopetoun…..
Our first term in Hopetoun has absolutely flown past and we can’t believe we’re already into October! We all settled in brilliantly to our new class and have enjoyed getting to know our new friends and adults. We’ve been busy with lots of activities such as cooking, art, relaxing, playing, and as well as learning lots of new things we have been having lots and lots of fun! We hope you all have a great October break and look forward to seeing everyone back after the holidays.
Ochiltree Term 1
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
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!
Eco Schools Green Flag
It is with great pride to announce that Beatlie School have achieved their 5th Green Flag for all their hard work on all things Eco within the school and the wider community.
Thank you to all the children, staff, parents and local community for all the support and participation over the last 2 years.
We look forward to our next journey which will start again after the October break and will continue on into the new school – how exciting!
A busy start in Duntarvie class
International School Award
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’.
