Easter Bonnet Competition
Searching for our pal Nessie!
Today P1C, P1M and P3FS spent the day at Urquhart Castle – learning about weapons and armour that the knights used to use, visiting the castle ruins and searching for our friend Nessie. We even fed Nessie some of her favourite shortbread, but she must have been too shy today.
We’d like to thank Di and her team at Urquhart Castle for assisting us with our trip. We’d also like to thank all of our helpers who volunteered. The weather was gorgeous. The weather dance Mr Cook did this morning definitely paid off . . .

Let’s get building . . .
As part of our topic we have been learning about different types of castles. We found out that Urquhart Castle is a Stone Keep castle. As part of P1C’s topic, they’re learning about Loch Ness. They kindly asked if P3FS would help them build their castle. Of course we said yes, so the construction begun this week! Before we started our building, we had to do a visit to Mr Cook’s classroom and check the measurements. We used photographs of the castle, alongside pictures of Mr Cook’s classroom to assist with our plan.
On Tuesday we started our construction, using a mixture of black and white paint with PVA glue to make the brick work of Urquhart Castle.
We’ll continue to work with P1C next Monday and Tuesday. We’ll put up more photos once it is built!

Nativity 2013 – ‘Hey Ewe!’
What a FANTASTIC two performances of ‘Hey Ewe!’ today. Every single child from the Nursery through to Primary 3 did such a FANTASTIC job.
Everyone looked superb in their costumes. With over 200 children involved, it really was a phenomenal show.
Thank you to all of the staff and pupils who assisted with the organisation of such a massive event.
We will keep you posted as to when the video is ready.
Thank you,
Mr Cook and Miss Shimmield
Children in Need
What a fantastic day it was today in Lochardil. We loved having boys, girls and staff dressed in their pyjamas. The Junior Leaders did a fantastic job with the Pudsey themed games, and Mr Cook was tired out after playing goal-keeper at lunchtime.
