Red Nose Fun In Room 11

Room 11 had great fun celebrating Comic Relief.  We decorated red nose pictures and tried on special red nose day glasses.  Don’t you think we look fabulous?

Papier Mache In Room 4

The children in Room 4 have been creating their own colour amongst the stars.  They used papier mache to make planets and then decorated them in different colours.

Thank You Nadine

We would like to say a big thank you to Nadine Allan who finished her placement with us at Orchard Brae last Monday, working alongside our Music Therapist, Emmeline. She is in the first year of her music therapy masters at Queen Margaret University and as you can see we’ve all had great fun working with her.

Good luck with the rest of your course Nadine and we hope to see you again in the future!

World Down Syndrome Day

We got World Down Syndrome Day off to a bright start and there was an amazing array of odd socks on display throughout the school.  Here are just a few photos of the crazy combinations!

World Downs Syndrome Day

Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day and we would love it if everyone in school could show their support by joining in their Lots of Socks Campaign.
So come on everyone. Get your odd socks on and we’ll see who is wearing the craziest combinations tomorrow!

Thank You From Howes Hoose

The students and staff in Howes Hoose would like to thank everyone that supported and came along to their fundraiser in February at the Sunnybank Social Club.

We would also like to thank everyone who donated to the raffle – there are honestly too many to mention! We were overwhelmed with the gifts, vouchers and hotel stays that were donated.

We raised a total of £2500 on the night and are still filling in the Pick A Date calendar to win a signed Aberdeen Football Club top and football. The money raised will go towards supporting the students working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Scotland award and trips to the Bendrigg Trust.

Spring Fundraiser

Some students from North East Scotland College have kindly arranged a Spring Afternoon Tea Fundraiser in aid of Orchard Brae.
The event is being held Jaffs Bar and Restaurant in Dunecht on Saturday 27th April from 2-4pm. Tickets are priced at £15 and are available from Howes Hoose.
Any donations for the raffle would also be gratefully received and can be handed into Howes Hoose.
