Four of our boys have just completed a wonderful week with @OYTScotland around Mull. Singing, playing games, enjoying wonderful views of Scotland and even a little bit of sailing! Well done boys! #TogetherWeGrow

Is there anything better than playing in the outdoors after an eight hour drive? Team Bendrigg arrived last night and are ready for a fab week with @BendriggTrust. It is definitely warmer down here! #TogetherWeGrow

Some our younger learners have been taking part in a sensory art project inspired by @jo3grace. Since Christmas the class have been investigating a range of sensory items to work with, today they explored with paint! I think you would agree, they are exceptional! #TeamOrchardBrae

Today we had the standing trikes in from @Sportaberdeen! Getting fit for Christmas- lots of big movement, supported mobilisation and a heap of fun! Is is possible the staff enjoyed it even more? #TogetherWeGrow

November INSET day saw all of our staff online with @SENICT on Friday. Lots of tips to develop our ICT at OB and a helpful reminder that as adults, we are the most useful teaching tool around- especially when learning cause and effect. Thanks Ian for a great day! #TeamOB

A colossal effort but our whole school community, but especially by our Howes Hoose learners sent 48 shoeboxes away to @BlythswoodCare for their shoe box appeal. Massive thanks to everyone who donated (and even knitted) items for the boxes. #TeamOB #TogetherWeGrow
