Lammermuir -Term 1
We have loved settling into our new ELC this term. You can see from the smiling faces in the photos that our children have been enjoying exploring the different areas of the school, both indoors and in the playground. The children have been working extremely hard on important skills like playing and developing their independence using switches, benches and walkers. So far we have shared the Very Hungry Caterpillar story and made lots of butterfly pictures, made our own scarecrow for our first cafe in the new school and have enjoyed lots of sensory art work using items such as shells, pine cones and twigs. We hope everyone has a lovely holiday and a well earned rest.
Pentland Term 4
Well folks, it’s nearly the end of another term as well as the end of the school year and our time in the old Beatlie School campus!
It’s been another fun and busy term with lots of activities and we have put together a short video of our 2 favourites…
We would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy summer 🌞, hopefully we’ll see lots of you at the Beatlie Bash on Friday 🥳 and then it’ll be time for lots of new adventures in our amazing new school! 😊
Team Pentland 💚
Term 4 in Hopetoun
We can’t quite believe that we already find ourselves approaching the end of the school year, how time flies when you’re having fun!! It’s been a year full of adventures, experiences and fun in Hopetoun and there’s lots more in store for when we move into to our fabulous new campus after the holidays.
This term we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy lots of outdoor experiences in the sunshine including taking on a whole school walking challenge for the month of May which we smashed! We’ve been practicing lots of useful skills so hopefully there are some helping hands with jobs around the house and we rounded off the term with a trip to 5 Sisters Zoo.
We hope you enjoy looking at our photos and we wish everyone a happy and healthy summer.

Term 3 in Duntarvie
In Duntarvie class we have been very busy learning out in the community and have created some videos of our favourite things we have been experiencing and participating in this term – hope you enjoy them.
We are looking forward to getting to explore further on our bikes next term and making the most of the lovely weather (fingers crossed). We are also planning to get back to check on all our berry, fruit and vegetable plants at the community garden.
Have a lovely Easter break.
Term 2 in Lammermuir Class 2021
Term 1 in Duntarvie
WOW what a busy start to term 1 in Duntarvie we can’t believe it will be the October break next week!
We have been exploring garden maintenance this term and keeping Duntarvie garden clean and tidy through weeding, cutting the grass and leaf blowing. We prepared the new kitchen garden area by upcycling some old tyres and compost from last year’s planting. We have already planted the seeds in the warmth of indoors and hope by the time Spring arrives we will have some lovey (hardy) herbs to plant outside.
To support our independence, develop our life skills and explore sensory development we have been completing class jobs including washing the windows, cleaning and putting away the dishes and sorting the laundry. Many of us have loved the new light weight hoover that we use to keep our class nice and tidy and it has even ventured round the school to ensure everyone is keeping their rooms nice and tidy!
A favourite class activity this term has been the sensory story of Boris the Bee – he has been a bit naughty by sneaking into the picnic basket and giving everyone a nasty sting!
It has been great to have new opportunities through our individual SQA work. This is the cooking group making all their health goodies to go home to parents and carers. We are hoping to get out and about in the community more through further ASDAN and SQA work alongside starting our Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
Hope you all have a lovely October week – Duntavie.
