Wooohooo! Congratulations to our wonderful headteacher🐝💛🖤

Some of our pupils this week were learning about different experiments that use colour mixing. Our favourite one was putting food colouring on milk and adding dish soap to it to watch it spread and mix together🐝

This week we had Claire from the Scottish SPCA visit, to help us understand more about the animals that live in Scotland. We were on the lookout in our garden for different animals, then we had to figure out what was the best way to help the animals. 🐝🌿🦔🐑🦢 #ScottishSCPA

Look at the lovely vase and bowl made by our seniors during the summer school programme. It is amazing some of the experiences that our young people got during the exam leave, that they wouldn't usually be able to get! 🐝👩‍🎨🎨 #thehive #dalkeithhighschool #summerschool

Here is the final result of our tropical-rainforest-turned-scottish-highlands! Our pupils worked hard and learned about our native wildlife, including badgers, foxes, pine martens, pipistrelle bats and red squirells! 🐝🦊🦇🦡🐿 #the hive #dalkeithhighschool #reducereuserecyle

Mrs Kane has really enjoyed working with pupils from The Hive at DHS over the last few weeks. They have learned loads of new skills whilst manufacturing a wooden jigsaw puzzle and a wooden hedgehog pencil holder. Dalkeith High School #determinedhappysuccessful

During the past few weeks we have been learning about owls in science. We finished off by making our own owls! We plan on adding them to our Scottish Highlands display. Aren't they adorable? 🐝🦉 #thehive #dalkeithhighschool

The Hive has been learning about the artist Jon Burgerman and having fun recreating some of his work 😊 Check out our creative pieces of artwork!

Midlothian Speech and Language Therapy and Autism Outreach teams would like to invite families and carers to a Family Information Session. These sessions are open to any families who would like more information on supporting their young person’s communication. 👇

We learned about the migration of red crabs on Christmas Island and made our own crabs! Aren't they wonderful!

Today we designed our own cars as part of our Transport topic! Aren't they great 😊

Our February 2023 newsletter can now be accessed at dalkeith.mgfl.net/enhanced-compl… and contains news about this term and some wonderful pictures from last term 😀

🐰 Recycled art work in the Hive today, we made these super cute Easter bunny cards!

The Hive students have been developing their collage skills using shape, colour and texture within the context of still life. Their work is now proudly displayed in the corridor 😊

As part of our minibeasts topic we are learning about the life cycle of butterflies. We have 4 caterpillars that we are watching closely as they grow and change. It has been amazing to see them grow already in just the first few days!

Our caterpillars have started to form into chrysalis. There is one that is a little slower than the other three. Can you spot which one looks more like a caterpillar still?

We have moved our four chrysalis into their new home! Pupils and staff are watching with excitement for the next stage 🦋

Would this interest any @Saltersgate1 pupils or any mainstream pupils with a diasibility @woodburnps @TynewaterPS @KingsParkPS Danderhall Primary @stdavidsPS_ELC 👇👇

We have butterflies 🦋
