Spring term in Lomond class
What great fun we have had this term. We have been lucky to be able to go horse riding and the weather was really kind to us. We have done lots of sensory exploration through water play, messy play and our sensory boxes. We have let our imaginations shine with some dressing up and some imaginary play with babies and water- what a great combination!
We are looking forward to going on some new adventures next term, hopefully the sun will continue to shine for us and we can spend lots of time outside.
Here are some of our highlights from this term.
Pentland – Term 3
I think I say the same thing every time … but how is it the holidays again already?!?!
We’ve had another very busy term and especially enjoyed our families coming in to join us for a Clown Doctors session, Burns’ Ceilidh, Fairtrade cafe and Red Nose Day cafe!
Our current topic is Spring which we will be continuing next term. We have also taken part in Chinese New Year, Valentines, ECO and British Science Week activities. Phew!!!
Two of our favourite activities were making Mr Nonsense (now our new class mascot) for the Red Nose Day cafe and throwing our wildflower seed bombs around the woodland to help the local wildlife…
The staff working hard too…
Think they enjoyed it as much as the children…
Our finished product…
Happy Easter from everyone in Pentland!
Pentland – Term 2
WOW! Who can believe Christmas is here already!
We’ve had another very busy term in Pentland with lots of new learning and fun celebrations including World Smile Day, Diwali, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Scottish Book Week, St Andrew’s Day and, of course, Christmas!
We have really enjoyed having our families back in school to take part in the Live Music Now café, watch our Christmas performance and see us meet Santa.
Our topic this term was ‘Day & Night’. We had fun creating day and night skies in art, bathing and dressing baby dolls for daytime and night time activities, and taking part in some day and night drama activities, including putting on our PJs and then snuggling up with a teddy for a bedtime story! We also explored dancing to lively and calm music and played some time games including ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf’ and ‘Here we go round the mulberry bush’. Some of our boys also explored day and night sequencing, sorting and opposites during our weekly maths group.
Here are a few photos of our topic work…

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all our families from Team Pentland.
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!!
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

Ochiltree Memories from Term 2 2021
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
