Today marks World Children’s Day on the calendar and to celebrate the rights of the child we participated in all things blue.
Lots of pupils and staff wore blue in support and all pupils used blue materials to make a giant blue collage.
Take a look at how it came together.
Well that was certainly a VERY busy and fast first term in our new school!
We have some new pupil and adult faces in Team Pentland this year and have been enjoying making friends and getting to know each other better.
Team Pentland this year:
Class Teacher – Louise
Advanced Pupil Support Workers – Alison, Caroline, Julie, Linda & Louise (yes, 2 Louises!)
Our pupils
We also have Linda (yes, another one!) for art, Gordon for music and Catherine for drama
Here are some of our highlights…
We have also been busy creating our Class Charter and Global Goals displays…
Hope everyone has a fun and well deserved holiday.
We braved the rain to wrap the school in green ribbon for World Mental Health Day, giving ourselves a big green hug!!!
Ochiltree has had a fantastic start to the year and we have had a great time learning, having fun and getting to know each other.
We were busy the first couple of weeks making displays for our Class Charter and our Target work. Our theme being balloons. So we had a fun photo shoot to help make the display.
The boys have been enjoying our Boys Group that we have started – they are going to have the girls heads turning by the end of the year they will be looking and smelling so good! They have been really motivated and trying hard to help themselves with their own personal care and we are looking forward to seeing how well they come on over the year.
The children are working hard to achieve their IEP targets as well as ASDAN and SQA quaalifications. They are working well individually to carry out class jobs/home chores as well as physical exercises and trying out new experiences such as rebound, archery, meeting new animal friends and peers.
We hope you all have a great holiday and we are looking forward to the next term and all things Christmasy! x
This week Ochiltree and Duntarvie enjoyed a messy but fun assembly all about what it takes to make a goodfriend.
Please have a look at the lovely video made up of the photos taken.
THANK YOU!!!
What an amazing response to our appeal – we even had donations from members of the local community and our neighbour Letham Primary!
Yesterday I filled my car, so today I brought my big car…..and I still ran out of space and had to call on help!
We had so many donations of wipes and nappies, plus some baby powder and food, so we have donated some of these to a charity preparing baby boxes to make sure everything gets to where it is needed the most.
Yesterday…
Today…
Thank you again to everyone who donated, you are all amazing!
WOW WOW WOW!!!!
What more is there to say, our Beatlie families have risen to the challenge again!
We have collected an amazing amount already but there is still time to send in any donations before midday tomorrow (Thursday 3rd March).

All donations from the original list will be gratefully received but in particular we are looking for:

This year, the UNICEF outright campaign focused on Mental Health. All children have the right to a healthy mind!
One of the tasks we completed was to think of something for another class that would make them feel happy! Here is what everyone came up with:
Lammermuir – received some lovely toys from Ochiltree that the pupils enjoyed exploring.
Hopetoun – Organised the Children In Need and made everyone very happy!!
Lomond – Received a list of favourite songs and lots of lovely instruments from Duntarvie. These went down very well!
Pentland – They had fun playing games in the gym hall using resources lent to them by Glendevon, Duck, Duck Goose was a favourite.
Glendevon – enjoyed making some very yummy Pudsey Bear biscuits with ingredients given to them from Pentland.
Ochiltree – received some lovely messy play resources to explore including bubbles and slime from Lammermuir.
Duntarvie – felt very pampered with a ‘spa in the classroom’ box from Lomond.
Thank you to everyone who made our event a HUGE success! Watch our video to see all the fun activities we took part in and how much money we raised…
