We have been really busy this term doing lots of fun things for Christmas.  We have all worked so hard on our Nativity performance.  Everyone look fantastic in their costumes and they all used their switches independently at the appropriate time too! We have been doing lots of Christmas crafting and Christmas cooking.  We made truffles, Christmas bark, melted snowman biscuits in our cooking groups.  We made some lovely decorations, calendars and Christmas cards and coasters in Art.  All the children enjoyed our Christmas music and movement group, everyone liked the Christmas songs, ribbons, bubbles and the parachute.  We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy and healthy New Year. See you in 2025!

As always Duntarvie have had a jam packed and fun term and we can’t quite believe it is almost Christmas already! After our harvest fundraising cafe we have been busy shopping every week to buy items for the West Lothian foodbank. We delivered it all last week and managed to collect a whopping 62.2kgs in total! Thanks again to everyone who donated items or money.

We have also enjoyed lots of time out and about in the community including Swimming, Potter Around, Gentle exercise, Musically Active Dudes and Growing Together gardening project.

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and New Year and we look forward to welcoming all the pupils back in January.

Love Team Duntarvie

What a fantastic term we have had here in Pentland!  The pupils have been exploring hydrotherapy and pool play sessions and have increased in confidence and skills while having so much fun.  We have also been busy with our fashion topic and have loved exploring all the different costumes and materials.  We engaged well with all of our activities including lots of singing, music, drama and listening and attention activities.

We have also been working hard on our body awareness and co-ordination skills during our PE sessions, we were working hard on balance, jumping, crawling and sliding.

Another of our favourite activities this term has been our session with the Clown Doctors – we love to play and interact during our sessions and are always so excited to see the Clowns.

Merry Christmas to all our lovely families when it comes!

We have been very busy over the last few weeks in Lammermuir.  We have been collecting toys for River Kids toy appeal so that children all over West Lothian will have a toy to open this Christmas. Thank you to everyone who kindly donated.  Our class went and delivered all the toys this week and then went to Dobbies afterwards to look at all the decorations.  We enjoyed looking at all the  lights, smelling all the festive scents and feeling lots of different textures.
