Summer term in Lomond

Leave a comment

What a fantastic end to the first year in our new school. We have had so much fun exploring everywhere. The weather has been a little bit nicer so we have made the most of being able to get out and about. We have had some very exciting walks and we even met a tractor with a very friendly driver who stopped to let us come close and see his tractor.

We have had lots of fun inside school as well, with our teddy bears picnic and clown doctors party both happening on nice sunny days. Even when it has not been as nice, we have still managed to make the most of our lovely new gardens, who knew that a poly tunnel was a great place to have a dance!

We finished our term with a lovely trip to Lochore Meadows country park where we had great fun in the play park then we had our picnic lunch, we even managed to have an ice cream before getting on the bus and coming home.

We hope everyone has a lovely summer and comes back to school looking forward to all the adventures we have in store for next year.

We have had a very busy term in Lammermuir – we have been growing strawberries and rhubarb in our garden along with some parsley we planted as part of Earth Day activities.  Our highlights have included Clown Doctors, learning to go on the trike and graduating from Nursery to P1.

Lammermuir staff would like to wish everyone a lovely summer holidays!

Summer Music

Leave a comment

It has been a busy Summer term in Music. In particular, secondary classes have focused on the culmination of a year-long project, with some of our young people working towards SQA National 1 Producing a Sound (alternative context).

For this, we have been choosing instruments and playing them correctly, then using our skills to tell a musical story. The story was a traditional tale from the Borders, that of Tam Lin and how Janet saved him from the Queen of the Fairies in the enchanted forest.

Ochiltree and Duntarvie had been working separately on the skills, but this term they came together  to create the sounds. We had a star guest as Carol Robbie came back to narrate the story.

It was a great success and has opened up options for other musical stories together and with others. We will certainly we doing this again, hopefully at a time that will be easier for friends and families to participate.

Meanwhile, primary classes have been having fun continuing to choose favourite songs to sing and play.

Ochiltree have had a fabulous year! I for one have loved every minute of it and will miss them very much!

It has been a year of fun and laughter, skills and attainment and the children have done themselves and you proud!

Alex and Fletcher have achieved their Asdan Transition Challenge and move onto their senior phase after the summer.

Mollie also moves into the senior phase class with one more year of her Asdan to go.

Brendan, Liam and Stanley will continue on their Asdan journey in Ochiltree with new friends joining them after the summer.

I hope you have all kept up to date on their journey this year through their Learners Journal and have enjoyed all the photos and videos of how fantastic they have been participating in all the wonderful activities we have had this year.

A special thanks to all who have supported all the youngsters in Ochiltree this year goes to: Madge, Alison, Tracy, Kerri, Ashley and Susan.

Have a fantastic holiday and look forward to seeing you at some of our school getharings next year. x

We can hardly believe that this time last year we were packing up the old school ready for our move and now here we are settled and thriving in our amazing new environment. We have enjoyed so many new experiences and opportunities and are looking forward to many more as we all move on. This term has been so busy and we hope you enjoy our video which highlights some of what we’ve been up to better than any words can!

What a great end to a brilliant year in Glendevon.  We have all had such a great year at school, we have loved our year together in the Glendevon class, we have made new friends, shared lots of lovely experiences together, learned lots, made lots of mess and shared in lots of laughs and fun along to the way!

We hope you all have an amazing summer holiday and we are looking forward to everything the new school year will bring!

We can’t believe it’s nearly the end of the first year in our amazing new school!

We’ve had another very busy term, working hard to develop our individual skills and abilities…

Once again we have also enjoyed getting out and about to horse riding and swimming…

Pentland would like to wish everyone a happy and well earned holiday.

What a busy last term!

Lots of our activities in term 4 have focused on Duke of Edinburgh.  Working on our skills, physical developments and volunteering.  Pupils have been:

  • Completing walking challenges using their supportive equipment
  • Caring for a range of animals with Calum from Cool Creatures
  • Improving skills in rebound therapy

As well as our weekly Duke of Edinburgh work we also took part in our Duke of Edinburgh expedition.  We all had brilliant fun – check out our video.

We want to say a big farewell to our S6 pupil leaving in the next couple of weeks and wish him all the best in his new adventures utilising adult services – he has been sneaking all his Nerf guns slowly over to Eilburn during his transition days! We can’t wait to share all his ‘best bits’ photos and a funny story or two at his leavers assembly this week.
