Beatlie Scarecrow Festival 2023
Our first cafe in our new school and what a lovely morning we had joined by some strangers………..
Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the lovely baking the children prepared over the week.
Thank you to all the children and staff for decorating the hall and making fantastic scarecrows.
Everyone had the opportunity to vote for their favourite – although everyone is a winner, Peat was the peoples favourite on the day.
Enjoy watching the videos of us all preparing for the day and a second one showing us all enjoying the morning.
See you all again for our Children in Need cafe on 17th November.
Summer term in Lomond class
We can’t believe that summer is here already! we would like to wish everyone a lovely summer holiday and we are looking forward to seeing everyone for the next big adventure in our lovely new school.
Here are some of the highlights from our term.
Natural Art Gallery @ Beatlie
The whole school have thoroughly enjoyed the walking month of May.
Whilst out and about we all had opportunities to interact with nature and use our artistic minds to collate some beautiful artwork.
Take a look at our lovely art gallery 2023!
Earth Day 2023
Earth Day 2023 – Invest in our Planet
This year for Earth Day we decided that we would invest in our planet using clean and safe energy:
# by investing in some solar lamps for each class to use on the day
# by collecting monies to donate to Solar Aid to help families in need
Through this participation we were using clean energy and giving the tools for others to do the same.
Families have no choice but to rely on poor alternatives such as homemade torches, candles and kerosene lamps.
These dangerous devices are imperilling health, impairing education, wasting household income and emitting astonishingly high amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.
Worst of all, families have to risk their lives every single night with open flames. It doesn’t have to be like this.
The whole school participated in Earth day – here are just a few of the activities we had fun experiencing:
Thank you for your generous gift. Through donations of £35 from pupils and staff along with a donation of £10 from the Fairtrade Tuck Shop we are able to give £45 to Solar Aid.
Your support means we can reach remote villages bringing solar to places where no one else goes.
Without your help, these communities would remain in the dark with only candles or kerosene lamps for light. Your donation will make this a problem of the past from the moment they switch on a solar light.
When the sun goes down at 6pm in sub-Saharan Africa, 590 million people are living in darkness. They have no access to electricity. There is no switch on the wall to turn on the light. This is energy poverty.

A donation of £45 will result in…
3 solar lights reaching 16 people, with 12 currently using dangerous, toxic and poor sources of light.
This will lead to total savings of $379 a year, with 13 people feeling safer at home and 3 more children studying after dark.
Well Done Beatlie!
Spring Clean 2023
On Monday Beatlie participated in the annual Spring Clean for Scotland.
All classes participated in a litter pick out and about in the local community.

Lammermuir Term 3 review
What a busy term we have had. Here are some of our highlights.
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…
Happy Easter from everyone in Pentland!
