Merry Christmas from Ochiltree

Leave a comment

We have had another busy term in Ochiltree and we can’t believe we’re already at the Christmas holidays!

This term we have been busy working towards some of our ASDAN challenges. The first was through our weekly health group where we really enjoyed our sessions with Childsmile. We explored healthy food through games and we practiced using the big mirror and toothbrush to brush Monty the puppet’s teeth. We completed our second challenge by learning about the festival of Diwali through music, dance, art and sensory activities.

We’ve also had a busy couple of weeks getting into the festive spirit, we had a lovely Christmas lunch, a fun packed singalong and enjoyed games and dancing at our Christmas party, we topped this all off with a trip to the shopping centre to see all the lights.

Team Ochiltree wish you all a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year!

MATP Challenge Event 🏅

Leave a comment

This term we hosted our very first Special Olympics Motor Activity Training Programme (MATP) Challenge Event.

Athletes in Hopetoun, Lomond, Pentland and Glendevon had the opportunity to showcase the skills they had been working on during training for their family and friends.

Every athlete did absolutely amazing and handled the spotlight so well! 👏 🌟

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came along to support our athletes and make the event such a success. I loved all the cheering, signs, posters and t-shirts ❤️

We asked for some feedback and this is what our parents said…

World Children’s Day 2025

‘my day…. my rights’

‘From the moment the sun rises, children wake up to a world shaped by choices they didn’t make. But every child, everywhere, also wakes with rights. Including the right to be protected, to learn, and to have their voice heard’ (UNICEF)

To celebrate World Childrens Day we explored some of our rights through stories, games, food and sensory play. We hope you enjoy our video of some of the fun we had!

Remembrance Day: Poppy Appeal Fundraising

Leave a comment

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to take the time to express our appreciation for everyone who contributed to the Poppy Appeal recently in school.

We raised an amazing amount  which will go towards helping those in the military community who have given so much and continue to give so much for all of us.

I also wanted to celebrate our brilliant Beatlie pupils, who made the most beautiful wreath as part of their assembly on Monday and the senior school pupils who are working towards their fundraising award and have been collecting donations, as well as very respectfully laying their wreath at the war memorial at the civic centre yesterday, on Armistice Day.

Thank you to your amazing young people and to our Beatlie community,

Rachael

We have had fun over the last couple of weeks in the run up to Halloween.  We have explored the changes happening around us and made Autumn leaf pictures.  we have explored slime, zombie brains and pumpkin inners in messy play – we had to rescue all the eye balls from the slime! We have experienced spooky stories and made our own Halloween ghost biscuits. As well as carving our class pumpkins.

Here are a few of our photos to enjoy.

Pentland

Pentland Class Term 1

Leave a comment

What a fantastic first term we have had here in the Pentland Class.  We have loved spending time together, getting to know our new friends and adults in class – we all have lots of fun together!

We have all settled into our routines and have been working hard on all of our activities and groups.  We have been busy with our topic ‘The Owl Who is Afraid of the Dark’ making lots of fantastic art work and some really yummy cooking sessions.

We have had some lovely sessions with the Clown Doctors and love when they come to visit our class.  We have also spent time enjoying the outdoors, gardening and exploring the playground equipment.

We are looking forward to the busy term ahead!

Autumn term in Hopetoun

We have had great fun in Hopetoun this term as we have settled in to our new class. We have enjoyed lots of different activities like gardening, going on the wheelchair bike and art. We have been exploring new foods during our messy play food group and some of us got messier than others! We are looking forward to seeing what the winter term will bring.
