Today 4 of our athletes represented Beatlie at the ASN Fun Run at Cedarbank School.
The boys took part in the 0.5km walk/run 🏃♂️➡️ and placed 4th, 9th and 12th out of 20 competitors.
In the 1km wheelchair race our female athlete came 1st!! 🥳
We are super proud of them as this was a really busy event with lots of new faces and an unfamiliar route.
We have had another super busy term in Ochiltree, it’s absolutely flown in and we can’t believe it’s already the end of another school year. We’ve had lots of fun this term, some of our favourite activities were completing our mini marathon and getting stuck into our gardening project. We went for a visit to Dobbies to choose some plants and we loved looking at the fish in the aquarium. We’ve also been really enjoying exploring all the different recreation opportunities out in the community such as golf, yoga, bowling, shopping and art and we had a super end of term trip to the farm where we enjoyed seeing all the animals and having fun in the outdoor play areas.
Team Ochiltree wish you all a safe and healthy summer!
On Wednesday we all took part in a fun filled sports afternoon. Lots of our families joined us and they also had the opportunity to meet next year’s teacher.

Another busy week for all the children in Beatlie getting out and about this walking month. This week we went on a sound walk – we found all the pictures of the rainforest animals and used our talking buttons to play the sound that they make. This was lots of fun and some of the animals sounds made us laugh! Lots of nice sunny weather for us this week too – hopefully it keeps up for us into next week!
Today some of our learners attended the ASN Football Festival at Broxburn Athletic FC. They had a fantastic time, working on kicking and dribbling skills, and especially enjoyed playing a a giant game of hungry hippos!
Well what a busy term this has been in Ochiltree! We’ve had some really important responsibilities this term including planning, preparing and running our pre-loved clothing event and Comic Relief cafe and we’ve been making the most of having our school buses to get out and about in the community. We’ve been shopping, testing out some cafe’s and a definite favourite has been our trips to the duck pond and the library at the Lanthorn. We also had lots of fun during Science week exploring animals and how they adapt and we’ve had an absolute blast with our Space topic! We were also lucky enough to make some new furry four legged friends during our Theraponies sessions. Happy Easter to you all!!
Last week 3 of our pupils attended the ASN Boccia and Curling Festival run by Active Schools with the college students at West Lothian College.
We took part in lots of different stations to develop our throwing and rolling skills, and had lots of fun!
We’ve had another super busy term in Ochiltree and we’re all definitely ready for our Christmas break! This term we’ve been working really hard developing our communication skills and have been enjoying lots of opportunities to use these across the school using our individual communication aids to deliver lots of messages. One of our favourite days this term was Universal Childrens Day where Ochiltree took over from the 2 Debbie’s for the day, we were so busy and we were all very happy to swap back!! We’ve been busy exploring a variety of different kitchen measures in cooking to make lots of yummy snacks and we have been participating in some cross class groups with our friends from other classes for PE, health groups and more recently for our Christmas activity groups. We’ve been practising lots for our Christmas performance which we’re all looking forward to showing you this week.
Merry Christmas to you all!
