Another amazing learning experience at Orchard Brae today as TheatreinSchScot and Imaginate UK came for a visit. Threw shows of #MESS. Deep engagement from our groups of sensory learners and a whole load of fun! We hope to see you back again. #TeamOB #TogetherWeGrow


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


November INSET day saw all of our staff online with Ian Bean 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


#TeamOrchardBrae have loved our session at Barrowland Ballet '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 Aberdeen Performing Arts #TogetherWeGrow


Today we had the standing trikes in from Sport Aberdeen! 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


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 LiveMusicNowScotland

Some our younger learners have been taking part in a sensory art project inspired by Joanna Grace PhD. 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


We could not be prouder of the #HowesRoadAllStars at #GleeChallenge tonight. The choir from Orchard Brae and Heathryburn School have worked their socks of to learn songs & signs for two songs. They were awarded 'The Spirit of Glee' award 🏆showing the power of teamwork. #TogetherWeGrow

Thanks for having us Frisson Foundation and letting us share our amazing learners with you! We loved the opportunity to come together and celebrate inclusion. #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 Bendrigg Trust Accessible Outdoor Centre, Cumbria. It is definitely warmer down here! #TogetherWeGrow
