Recycle Week 2026

Beatlie Celebrates Recycle Week ♻️

During Recycle Week, each class at Beatlie School took part in a range of activities tailored to the needs and interests of their pupils. Our learners explored recycling through hands-on, sensory, and creative experiences, helping them develop an understanding of how we can care for our environment.

♻️ Recycled Materials Scavenger Hunt

Pupils enjoyed searching for recycled materials hidden around the garden and outdoor learning areas. Each class participated at their own pace, collecting a variety of items and exploring different textures, shapes, and materials as they searched.

🗂️ Recycling Sorting Activities

Using labelled tubs for paper, plastic, and metal, pupils sorted the items they had found during their scavenger hunt. This activity encouraged learners to identify different materials and develop their sorting and decision-making skills through practical, hands-on learning.

🎨 Creative Upcycling

Classes then used recycled materials to create their own upcycled projects. Pupils transformed everyday items into decorations, artwork, and useful objects, demonstrating creativity while learning how materials can be reused instead of thrown away.

🌍 Learning Together for a Greener Future

Recycle Week provided a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to explore sustainability in meaningful and accessible ways. Through sensory exploration, recycling tasks, and creative activities, pupils learned that everyone can play a part in looking after our planet.

Lomond Term 3

What a busy term in Lomond this term.

We have been loving every minute of it! We have been enjoying the experience of upcycling and how we can reuse recycled materials to make a new piece of clothing. We have got to enjoy some sewing, spray painting, gluing with a glue gun, using an iron and exploring lots of different recycled materials.

At the start of the year we all joined in the Burns Ceilidh enjoying being part of the whole school and showing our dancing skills.

We had fun in February baking for the Healthy Eating Cafe and making our Love Heart valentine card with melted crisp packets.

On World Book Day we went on a book hunt and made some chocolate puddle milkshakes the same as Peppa Pig. We all loved using the switch to make the mixer work.

This week we are helping out the school and community while participating in our spring clean week. Lots of fresh air while helping the environment!

We are now looking forward to our Trashion show tomorrow to bring an end to the term.

Have a lovely holiday and look forward to seeing you all over the summer term. x

Walking Month Week 4

A little bit of rain hasn’t stopped us from getting out there on our walks this week!  For our final week of walking week, each class went on a walk and collected some natural materials in the environment, experiencing all of the sights, smells and feelings of all of our findings.  When we got back to school we put our materials to good use and made a lovely display board at the front of the school with our wonderful creations!  What do you think?  We think it looks great!

Well done everyone on another successful walking month of May!

Walking Month Week 2

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!

Walking Month Week 1

Happy International Walking Month!!  The theme for this years walking month is the rainforest and how reducing our carbon footprint will help the rainforest and the animals that live there.  This week each class has gone on a local walk and have been on the hunt for some rainforest animals on their way.

See how many you can spot in our photographs….

Pre-loved clothing event

Last term Ochiltree took part in lots of upcycling projects and today was their final project as they hosted a pre-loved clothing event. They worked very hard to sort and lay out all the clothes, then today everyone had a job to do such as greeting the visitors and manning the stalls. This event also helped us mark the launch of our non school uniform clothing bank.

Some pupils and staff came along for a browse too!

Caroline from the Advice Shop also came along to support families with any questions.

 

 

Earth Day 2024

Earth Day 2024 Happy Earth Day 2024! Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day. This annual event is a time to focus on the environmental issues we have across the planet and highlight the efforts being made so we can continue to protect it.

Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and brighter future.

 

Spring term in Lomond

What a busy term we have had! some of our highlights have been swimming for some of our children as well as continuing to explore our new school and gardens. The new willow sculptures are very exciting.

We have continued to enjoy activities like visiting the multi-sensory room and some of us are getting very good at activating the interactive floor.  We have enjoyed activities like our Burns day ceilidh and having two cafes this term has meant plenty of opportunities for cooking and baking as well as seeing lots of people coming into the school.

We continue to enjoy a weekly visit from the clown doctors and our cross class PE groups have been a big success. It’s always nice to be able to see friends from other classes.

We are looking forward to the summer term when hopefully the weather will be a bit nicer and we will be able to get out a bit more.

Have a lovely Easter holiday and we look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

Summer term in Lomond class

Here are some of the highlights from our term.
