International Day of Persons with Disabilities
St Andrews Day Celebration Ceilidh
Today we had our first Ceilidh in the new school and it gets a thumbs up for a great place to get your kilts on and dance your socks off!
Have a look at our video of some of the children enjoying the music, the company and the dancing!
Unicef World Children’s Day 2023
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.
Pentland Term 1
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.
World Mental Health Day
We braved the rain to wrap the school in green ribbon for World Mental Health Day, giving ourselves a big green hug!!!
Ochiltree Term 1
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
A busy start in Duntarvie class
Secondary Assembly – Friendship
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.
Ukraine Collection Update
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!
