Kathryn, Jamie and Charlotte from our class represented Lochardil in the P4/5 cross-country team at the McRobert Cup Cross-Country Championships. The boys team ran well and the girls’ team won GOLD and were presented with individual gold medals and the Team 4/5 trophy! The girls were exhausted and emotional after their success! It was quite hard because ‘ we were running into the wind and it was bitterly cold weather.’

We are very proud of all the pupils who participated and represented Lochardil.

P4 went outside in the cold this morning to crack a code and read a message on flags. We went into pairs and had to know our 8 times table facts which we have been learning this week. On our sheets we had

numbers and they matched up with sums on flags which also had letters attached to them. By working out the tricky sums like 8 x 8 x 2 and 8 x 9 – 12 we were able to figure out which letter went where on our secret message. Andrew S and Katie were the winners and they were awarded 5 housepoints each! Robbie and Adnane came second and were awarded 4 housepoints. We had great fun – but it was very cold and we were quite glad to warm up back in the classroom!
