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

[OrchardBraeSchool@aberdeencity @BraeSchool]

A week with Penny and Matt is always a good week! This week we are combining this with Scott's sensory music installation. Thanks so much @AccMusicService and @LiveMusicNowSCO

[OrchardBraeSchool@aberdeencity @BraeSchool]

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

[OrchardBraeSchool@aberdeencity @BraeSchool]

#TeamOrchardBrae have loved our session at @Barrowlballet 'Unexpected Gift' over the last couple of days. Rich engagement, sensory experiences and lots of fun. We particularly enjoyed the snow dance! Thanks for having us @APAWhatsOn #TogetherWeGrow

[OrchardBraeSchool@aberdeencity @BraeSchool]

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

[OrchardBraeSchool@aberdeencity @BraeSchool]

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.
