Well done to our first group of swimmers who just completed their block at Bathgate Xcite.
They worked so hard, gaining confidence and developing skills in the early stages of buoyancy, co-ordination, spatial awareness, breathing, and entering and leaving the pool safely.
3 swimmers achieved their Beatlie Aqua Bronze Award and 1 swimmer was presented with a Beatlie Swimming Progress Award. Well done everyone ⭐ we are so proud of you 😊

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.
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.

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!
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!
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….
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!
What a busy term we have had, Christmas seems like a long time ago now! We have been very busy with lots of different activities since then. Our topic has been Looking After My Body- Hygiene and everyone has been involved in this through learning about our bodies and how to look after them. We have also taken part in lots of different activities for things like Red Nose Day, Numeracy Day and World Book Day as well as having visits from Happy Hoofbeats therapy ponies and live music now. Some of the pupils have also been to visit the Yard in Edinburgh and have been swimming at Bathgate pool. Hydrotherapy has also continued this term. We are looking forward to another busy term after the holidays. Have a lovely Easter and fingers crossed the sun continues to shine.
