For homework this week, the pupils are asked to create their own comic strip. The theme of the comic strip is ‘Under the Sea’ to link in with our topic and also to build on the literacy work we have been doing in class. The pupils have been asked to hand in their comic strip on Friday to share with their classmates!
There will be no written maths or spelling homework this week. However, pupils can continue to practise their times-tables at home.
There will be reading homework on Monday night only. Reading sessions will continue in school, but pupils will not be taking their reading book home Tuesday-Thursday as some pupils may be changing reading group.
Miss Shimmield
EDIT: Sorry the comic strip sheets did not go home tonight! Pupils will be given their comic strip sheet tomorrow.

The Parent Council have prepared a tea towel for Lochardil Primary School. The school opened for it’s first session in August 1964. So, after all the hard work from the children, teachers and staff at the school we are delighted to offer for sale two different Lochardil Primary School Tea Towels. One towel is for P1 – P3 and the second is for P4 – P7.
Whilst the towels will be available to buy later in the year, you can pre-order your towels now to ensure that you are able to get one (or 2 or 3!) which will make great Christmas presents.
Order forms will be available from the school from Monday 30th September.
Please follow the links to view the towels and access the order form.
Everyone in P6/7 just want to say a massive thank you to all that contributed to our Coffee Afternoon to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. We were overwhelmed by the number of cakes brought in by pupils and parents – so thank you all very much. We now have to count all the money we raised which will go towards helping people who are fighting cancer.
We made a whopping £822!! It’s fantastic, so well done!
Here are some pictures from the afternoon . . . thank you again,
From all the pupils in P6/7, Mrs Macleod, Mrs Prentice and Miss Shaw.

On Tuesday, we decided to take our mental maths outdoors! To practise our times-tables and division sums we played a game called ‘Maths Hunt’ created by Mrs Beattie and the P2s. We had to find a flag, work out the sum on the flag and write down the answer next to the flag’s number on our sheet.
It was great fun and everyone joined in. A great start to the week!
Weekly PE slots are scheduled on Monday and Friday for P3FS. Pupils need to bring a change of clothes (t-shirt, shorts/jogging trousers), gym shoes and suitable outdoor footwear for activities (trainers) on these days.

Maths and spelling is due on Thursday (19th September 2013).
Reading homework should be completed each night (Mon-Thurs) and page numbers are written in purple diary. Pupils should bring their purple diary and reading book to school every day.
Today at assembly, P3Fs were ‘swimming’ to success and showing off our super Rainbow fish that we made. We were inspired by the book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to create beautiful fish with shimmering scales.We spoke about how we made our fish at the Achievement Assembly.
We also wrote a prayer together (in the picture below) which Iain and Grace read at the assembly. It was a bit scary standing in front of P1-P7 but Iain and Grace spoke very clearly and everyone enjoyed it! Also, we chose a song for the school to sing. We chose ‘He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.’
Thank you to all the parents, carers and relatives who came to visit our classroom! We were delighted to show you all the things that we have been doing and what we have been learning. Our butterflies were shining brightly despite the horrible weather outside! For those who were’t able to make it, here is a selection of photos showing some of our fantastic work:

A food chain shows what animal eats what. We had some interesting discussions about this and we were able to trace back the energy we get from eating food to the sun. It also showed us how animals depend on each other to survive.We also discovered that we are all omnivores!Unlike a lion that is a carnivore and a cow that is a herbivore.
Tomorrow we are conducting an experiment to find out which materials dissolve in water.
We used the picture below to discuss what the children think happens to the sand on the beach and this made us think about things that dissolve in water and what the word ‘dissolving’ means. We had some very scientific discussions about the difference between melting, dissolving and disappearing. For example, where does the sugar go when you add it to a cup of tea? We are going to test lots of different materials to see which
