On Thursday, 16th May, P4 briskly walked to Bellfield Park and checked out the facilities there. We discovered you can play on the playground equipment, hire bikes, pose for wedding photographs, play tennis, listen to bands playing in the bandstand, have a barbeque, work out on the outdoor gymnasium, have a picnic, play mini-golf , paddle in the paddling pool, admire the plants, walk your dog, relax on a bench and read your book and buy ice-cream! What a great place!

Then we walked across the bridge and met John outside Eden Court Theatre. John gave us an hour long tour of the buildings and explained all about when they were built and what all the different rooms are used for. We loved walking on the stage and seeing the backstage quipment, the pit and pretending to be in a show! Then John took us to one of the dance / drama studios and we had an ‘Inverness Drama Workshop.’ We had great fun!

On the way back to school we stopped off in Bellfield Park again to have our packed lunch on the picnic benches. We just checked out the playground again to make sure it was safe for visitors!

We are really looking forward to our next two city walks!

On Wednesday, 15th May Kieran and Robbie took part in a Football Festival at Caley Stadium. They had a great day there even although it rained quite a bit and met some of the Caley players like Andrew Shinnie, Billy Mackay, and Owain Tudor-Jones. The teams played 9 games each. Lochardil won 7 games, drew one game and lost one game. After the festival all the participants got the Caley players’ autographs and a 10% discount voucher for the Caley Thistle shop!  

Thank you for being such positive ambassadors for our school boys. We are very proud of you all.

On Saturday, 18th May, P4/5 footballers took part in a Football Tournament at Duncan Forbes Primary School. The Lochardil boys were split into a P4 team, a P5 team and a P4/5 team. The P4 team got to the final but were beaten 4-2 by Duncan Forbes, the P5 team got to the semi-finals and the P4/5 team got knocked out in the group stages. However, everyone enjoyed the day and had great fun.
