Cricket Festival

Leave a comment

🏏 On Monday, three of our athletes took part in the first-ever Edinburgh Disability Cricket Festival at Inverleith Park!

Joining pupils from across the East of Scotland, they had a fantastic time — especially teaming up with pupils from Tynecastle High School. The day was packed with action as they developed their striking, bowling, catching, throwing and running skills.

To top it all off, we finished with a well-earned picnic in the park 🧺😋 — a perfect end to a brilliant day!

Wet Wheels Adventure

What a day—what a crew! 🚤✨ Who knew we had so many talented skippers in the making?

Two groups of pupils from both primary and secondary took to the water at Wet Wheels, Port Edgar—and it was unforgettable.

Everyone had a turn at the helm, and while we loved the thrill of speed, the highlight had to be spinning donuts and making waves! 🌊😄

We were even lucky enough to spot Derek the dolphin, along with seals and puffins! 🐬🦭🐧

Safe to say, the staff had just as much fun as the pupils! 😄🙌

Autumn term in Hopetoun

Leave a comment

We have had great fun in Hopetoun this term as we have settled in to our new class. We have enjoyed lots of different activities like gardening, going on the wheelchair bike and art. We have been exploring new foods during our messy play food group and some of us got messier than others! We are looking forward to seeing what the winter term will bring.

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.

Pentland Summer Term

Leave a comment

We have had another fantastic time in Pentland over the past few months.  We have been so lucky with the weather and have been out enjoying our wonderful playground as often as we can.  We have each had a great time riding our bikes/trikes and are getting more and more confident with them.

We have been busy out and about for walking month in May taking part in lots of activities about the rainforest and some of us have been out swimming or at the theatre which we have loved.  We have also had lots of lovely visitors to our class including the Clown Doctors who we just love and have so much fun with!

We have had a brilliant year this year and have all worked so hard.  We hope everyone has an amazing summer and we are looking forward to all of our exciting activities in the new term.

Happy Holidays!

Walking Month Week 4

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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!
