Ochiltree Memories from Term 2 2021

Leave a comment

 

What a year it has been so far – lots and lots of fantastic achievements made in 2021! There are so many memories I wanted to share that I have made a Sway for each of the children!

We have also been enjoying sharing our good work each week when we are sending home our baking, craft work and plants – I think the escorts are beginning to wonder what will come next!

We are truly grateful that we have had the opportunity to participate in so many great activities this year both in our own class and with Duntarvie! Lets keep our fingers crossed that we will continue in the new year!!!

Christmas Wishes to you all from Ochiltree xcx

Hello Reece!!!

Leave a comment

This morning, I received a lovely message from Davie Walls, the parent of an ex nursery pupil here in Beatlie.
He sent me 2 photos of his lovely son, Reece looking at the Beatlie Blog, which he loves looking at even after all these years!!So Reece, this is a wee message from me, Carol, to you.
I was trying to remember how long ago it since you were here so I went through my old diaries and found you way back in 2013 – 14 and 2014 – 15 in Lammermuir nursery.
I found the Calendar of Events outlining all the things we did together as a school and class lists with all your wee pals and the class teams who looked after you! It has made me quite nostalgic!!
Linda, Tracey, Annmarie and Natalie are all still here and send you all their love.
In the meantime, love and virtual hugs to you and your wonderful family! Keep enjoying the blog and have a wonderful Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year!!!

UNICEF Outright Campaign 2021

Leave a comment

This year, the UNICEF outright campaign focused on Mental Health. All children have the right to a healthy mind!

One of the tasks we completed was to think of something for another class that would make them feel happy!  Here is what everyone came up with:

Lammermuir – received some lovely toys from Ochiltree  that the pupils enjoyed exploring.

Playing with the gifts from Ochiltree

Hopetoun – Organised the Children In Need and made everyone very happy!!

Lomond – Received a list of favourite songs and lots of lovely instruments from Duntarvie.  These went down very well!

Pentland – They had fun playing games in the gym hall using resources lent to them by Glendevon,  Duck, Duck Goose was a favourite.

Glendevon – enjoyed making some very yummy Pudsey Bear biscuits with ingredients given to them from Pentland.

Ochiltree – received some lovely messy play resources to explore including bubbles and slime from Lammermuir.

Opening the gift from Lammermuir

Duntarvie – felt very pampered with a ‘spa in the classroom’ box from Lomond.

Secondary Assembly for World Children’s Day

Blue is the colour for World Children’s Day 2021

We had a story massage about Paddington

Then we talked about how we felt when he came to London and how he feels when people are not nice to him.

We learned how to do the ‘Hard Stare’ when people are not nice!

Duncan was fantastic at this and as also able to show his friends different emotions too!

We made blue prints for a display in the school too.

Please have a look at how we made them and a look at how Paddington does the hard stare! Can you do it?

World Food Day was highlighted and celebrated on the 16th October. As part of our learning here at Beatlie we looked food journeys and how/why we can and should do better.

To share our learning we all participated in a poster competition – please have a look at the great work we all had fun making! Some more photos may also be shared on their Learning Journals.

Ochiltree Term 1

Leave a comment

I cannot believe that it is October already!

We have had a fabulous start to the year and have been enjoying our extended bubble with Duntarvie and participating in lots of new activities with all our friends from there!

So what have we been up to…..

We had a very successful litter pick around Craigshill but we were very surprised at how little litter there was about – the community have come together and have made fantastic changes around the area. We were also able to see how well our flowers have been growing at the street signs we planted before the summer – this caught on and there are lots of streets around doing the same now!

It was lovely to see Luca’s family and they had fun joining us for a walk around the Almond – it was a shame that you could not all join us but hopefully we will see you all soon at other school events.

We are all working hard on our qualifications this year – ASDAN and SQA projects as well as our IEP targets. William and Aria are doing lots together and are joined by Charlie for topic work, Luca is joining the Duntarvie class for lots of activities and Sophie is joining her friends from Duntarvie for lots of movement and sensory activities.

Catherine has been conducting the topic – Looking After My Body and the children have loved all the fun activities she has been doing – they especially enjoyed the smelling and tasting activity. Catherine has also been doing Drama which Luca and Sophie have been going to and they love it – hopefully we will be able to put on a show for you at Christmas or at the end of the year!

The children are all getting to try out new activities, experience new things and encouraged to be as independent as they can be building skills for adulthood! They are a great help carrying out their class jobs, Eco tasks and helping out in the community.

There are so many things I could rave about but I must leave space for some pictures.
