Lochardil LockDown Bee Happy Stone Display!

One of our extremely talented Lochardil Primary Parents has been very busy creating this beautiful “Lochardil Lockdown – Don’t Worry Bee Happy” outdoor display right outside the school gates!

Some children have already been very busy painting stones at home, and what a fantastic job they have made. It is lovely to see such bright and colourful creations making us all smile during lockdown.

We think the stones are looking a bit lonely and thats where you guys come in – our fabulous Lochardil Primary Pupils and Families! We want you to add to our lovely display by getting your hands on some stones and taking the time to paint or colour them in whatever way you choose – and when you are out on your daily walk make sure to add your stone to our collection.

Let’s see how many amazing colourful stones we can get displayed in front of our school gate to make sure that we keep each other smiling during Lockdown.

Have a lovely long weekend!

P2a Weekly Update

We’ve had another busy week in primary 2A. On Thursday, it was World Book Day and the children enjoyed visiting the other classes where they got to do lots of fun, book related activities.

PC Grant visited our class today and he gave us some excellent advice about how to stay safe when we’re out and about. The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed getting to see inside the back of his police van. The siren was very loud!

Finally a big well done to this week’s Star Writers.

P2A Update

A big well done to Aaron Ross who is our new pupil of the month!

P2A have been learning all about instructional texts and they’ve enjoyed a bit of role play using ‘bossy verbs’. Last week, the boys and girls got to make their own piece of toast for snack time. There was a lot of sticky fingers but they were able to confidently write their own set of instructions.

Welcome Back P2A

Happy New Year to you all!! I hope everyone a lovely relaxing holiday.

The children have settled back into the class very nicely and they have all been working very hard. Parent Appointment letters were sent home yesterday. Please return next week.

Many thanks

P1 and P2 Nativity

After 5 weeks of hard work, the big day is nearly here. We are all very excited to perform our Nativity to all the parents, carers and grandparents coming to one of next weeks’ shows. As our morning performances are starting at 9.30am on both Monday and Tuesday, we will be taking P1 and P2 classes in at the first bell on both of these days. This bell rings at 8.50am so it would be greatly appreciated if your child could be in their line at this time in order for us to get ready.

A reminder that doors will open 10 minutes before each performance starts, and you must have your allocated tickets with you to gain entry.

We look forward to seeing lots of friends and family at one of the performances next week, and we hope you are as excited as we are!

P1 and P2 teachers.

Nativity Updates

A big thank you to all who have provided costumes for the Nativity. We are still waiting on a few so if these could be taken in ASAP that would be great. This only applies to those who received a letter home regarding costumes as we have these in school for some roles.

As we are beginning to organise and distribute tickets, we would be grateful if all ticket slips could be returned by tomorrow at the latest (29/11). As tickets are on a first come, first served basis with a draw for any spares, it is unlikely we will be able to provide tickets for late returns. Please also check your child’s bag in case any slips have been left in the bottom rather than being handed in.

Thank you, P1 and P2 teachers.
