Homework (Monday 30th September 2013- Thursday 3rd October 2013)

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.

EDIT: Sorry the comic strip sheets did not go home tonight! Pupils will be given their comic strip sheet tomorrow.

Lochardil Tea Towel!

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.
