Meg’s Eggs (written by Helen Nicoll and illustrated by Jan Pienkowski)
One of Meg’s spells goes spectacularly wrong. She is trying to conjure up some eggs for her tea and although she manages to make three eggs, they look rather different to usual. One by one they hatch and reveal something unusual…

A Squash And A Squeeze (written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler)
A little old lady lives all by herself in her house but she’s not happy – it’s just too small, even for one. Whatever can she do? The wise old man knows!
As you will be aware Google classrooms are being kept open over the holidays so should you wish to, you will be able to access the activities that were assigned to your child. However, if you’re looking for something new to try, here are some of the sensory activities that pupils in the Hub have been enjoying over the last few weeks. Have a wonderful summer break and have fun!
On the school website, you will find links to documents and websites which you may find helpful in supporting yourself, your family and your child in preparing for returning to school. This is by no means an exhaustive list of resources and should you find anything you feel would be beneficial to share, please let us know.
These supports can be accessed using the link below or on the website through the OUR SCHOOL tab then COVID-19.
Welcome to tonight’s bedtime story, the last one for this term. We have been overwhelmed by the positive responses we have received about our regular bedtime story. As we head into the summer holidays, we plan to upload a new bedtime story each Friday and Saturday night but you can always look back at our previous stories on our new Orchard Brae YouTube Channel.

This Is A Serious Goose (written and illustrated by Jimmy Kimmel)
Meet a very Serious Goose! There is nothing silly about this goose. You CANNOT make her laugh, so DON’T EVEN TRY! ….
We would like to thank all of our pupils, families and staff for their hard work, enthusiasm and endless support over the last four months! You have amazed us with your strength and resilience during a very challenging and difficult time.
Last night’s virtual prom was a wonderful way to say goodbye to our school leavers and we wish them all well for the amazing journeys that lie ahead of them.
We also have to say farewell to some staff members too as they leave us for pastures new.
We say a fond farewell to Niki Anderson, our Head of Early Learning and Childcare, who is retiring. Niki has been part of our community for many years both at Hazlewood and Orchard Brae. We will miss her very much but wish her every happiness in her retirement.
We also say goodbye to Sam Stephen, our dance and drama instructor, who is heading off for new adventures in London. Thank you Sam for your endless enthusiasm and boundless energy and for organising an amazing virtual prom! We wish you well for the future.
Cara Blackstock, PSA in Room 8 will be leaving us to train as a teacher and we wish her every success in her future career.
Tracey Catto, from the Admin team, left us at Easter but farewells then were overshadowed by events so we would like to wish her well in her future endeavours.
Goodbye also to Jacqui Clutten, who has been a children’s escort for 17 years and farewell to her fellow escort Connor Cadger.
But as we say farewell to what has been an unusual year to say the least, the staff at Orchard Brae would like to share a little something to brighten up your summer!
We hope everyone enjoyed last night’s virtual prom. It was an amazing evening full of fun and music. Huge thanks to Sam Stephen for organising the event and arranging such a fantastic line up of guests! It certainly made it a night to remember.
The event was live-streamed on our Facebook page and had over 600 views during the event!! If you couldn’t manage to join in with our virtual prom last night, you can watch it below or on our Facebook page.
The summer holidays are from the end of the school day on the 3rd of July until Tuesday the 11th of August. The Google Classroom will remain open so you can access the activities which have already been posted but there will be nothing new until the new term starts. Thank you for your engagement with Google Classroom so far and have a great holiday.
