I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all who donated some of their old/unused wellies. They are fantastic and have been put to good use.
I have put together a sway to show you what we have done with the wellies and hopefully in May/June we can update you with some beautiful ‘blooming’ flower displays!
We have made some bee homes so it will be brilliant if the flowers attract them to the courtyard garden.
Dear Parent / Carer,
We are organising a collection for West Lothian Foodbank again this year. This will help to provide local families across West Lothian with vital support over the Winter period and during these uncertain times. More information can be found on their website at https://westlothian.foodbank.org.uk//
A typical food parcel would contain a wide variety of items. Some suggestions given on the website include the following:
Long Life (UHT) Milk Tinned beans Biscuits
Breakfast cereals Tinned meat (including Tuna) Pasta sauce
Soup Tinned vegetables (including potatoes) Snacks
Pasta Tinned fruit
Rice Tea or coffee
If you would like to contribute in any way, please send your donations into school with your child between now and end of February. We will be following government guidelines ensuring the safe transitioning of goods with a box for each class to allow for quarantine.
Many thanks.
Ochiltree have been busy Elves over the last couple of weeks – having fun and working hard.
We all enjoyed our Christmas crafts and artwork that we worked hard on although really enjoyed looking at all our pictures while putting the calendar together.
We also enjoyed the pantomime despite it being virtual it was like we were there!
Our Christmas party was really fun – we enjoyed playing pass the parcel, corners game and dancing to party music before Santa came to visit and give us all a gift.
Despite everything that is going on in the world around us we have not let it dampen our spirits in Ochiltree!
MERRY CHRISTMAS from all your friends in Ochiltree. xx
Article 29 (goals of education)
Education must develop every child’s
personality, talents and abilities to the
full. It must encourage the child’s respect
for human rights, as well as respect
for their parents, their own and other
cultures, and the environment.
Article 31 (leisure, play and culture)
Every child has the right to relax, play and
take part in a wide range of cultural and
artistic activities.
OutRight is Unicef UK’s annual youth campaign that empowers children and young people to speak out about children’s rights on World Children’s Day – 20 November – the anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It’s a campaign by children, for children, that helps children and young people to promote and protect children’s rights in the UK and around the world.
Beatlie is one of more than 5,000 Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools across the UK that embed children’s rights in their ethos and culture.
We hope that through the campaign not only the children got to experience how climate change is making an impact on our planet and they have had the freedom to express their feelings and understanding of what they have participated in but you have also:
Please have a look at our fantastic children having fun and learning over the last 3 weeks culminating with World Children’s Day.
It is time for the answers.
How well did we all do?
Thank you all for your participation over the last 3 weeks. I hope you all found it informative and perhaps make you think about what you can do no matter how small to make the World a better place for generations to come!
Have a look through the presentation below to see lots of lovely photos of pupils from Beatlie making posters for this campaign. Remember that you can click on the 4 arrows to make it full size!
As part of our commitment to the Outright Campaign and speaking out for the rights of our children we have been using the Story Massage Programme which combines the benefits of positive touch with the creativity of storytelling.
In this story we have addressed the issue of Climate Change and how it is affecting our planet which is having adverse effects on our children’s rights across the world.
We had a fantastic morning enjoying the fresh air, taking in the sights and having fun as we made our way round the local environment on our sponsored walk!
Well done everyone!
