REMINDER: PE KIT FOR TOMORROW
Thank you to ALL of the pupils that came to support Nibbles N’ Nails today. This had a real positive impact on the enterprising efforts of P6/7 pupils.
Monthly Archives: October 2012
Hallowe’en Flashdance…
In P6/7 tradition, for the second year in a row we created a Hallowe’en Flashdance. At each of the discos, we performed our flashdance to ‘Smooth Criminal’ by Michael Jackson. This is something that always gets the crowd going!

Hallowe’en antics…
A MASSIVE WELL DONE TO ALL P6/7 who held a fantastic night of fun for the school. The Hallowe’en disco was a massive success. The DJs were devilish, the gamers were ghoulish, and the tricks and treats just completed the night.
We were able to raise £420.10 profit after taking off our expenditure. This is a FANTASTIC amount. We want to thank the WHOLE school for helping with this.
Thank you to our parent/carer helpers- without you, we wouldn’t have had such a success!
TOMORROW: Wednesday 31st October is Nails N’ Nibbles
We will have our NAILS N’ NIBBLES stall open in the P6/7 classroom at break and at lunch. For 50p your nails can get become Hallowe’en-ified, and you can get a Hallowe’en snack. If you have 50p in change- it would be appreciated.
See the photographs from last night below:
Disco Fever…
All of our hard work has finally paid off- the time has come for the Hallowe’en Disco!
P6/7 pupils should arrive at school at 5.30pm to setup, and be picked up at 9.30pm after we have tidied up.
Remember: You can bring £1 to play the games this evening…
P6/7 Parent/Carer helpers will be greatly appreciated.
See you tonight,
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice
Glad to be back…
Mr Cook is very much looking forward to getting back to school on Monday, and hopes you had a fantastic first week back.
Excited to see your weather reports, as I was upset that I missed this last week.
I have been very busy learning about what teachers do all over the country. They were extremely impressed with our blog, and the amount of information that we share with parents/carers.
I’m glad everyone had such a fantastic holiday, and I’m looking forward to the disco on Monday.
Have a brilliant weekend.
Mr.Cook
It is time to ROCK this CHALLENGE
HALLOWEEN DISCO REMINDER:
P6/7 pupils to be at school for 5.30pm to help set up and until 9.30pm to help tidy up. Any Parent/Carer helpers who can assist will be appreciated.
Over the past two days we’ve been starting to think about what our theme is going to be for our Rock Challenge performance. Mr Cook has set us the task of having a theme by the time he is back on Monday.
One idea is to take a traditional story, and turn this into a piece of movement using a given theme. For example, in the finals last year, the team from Fraserburgh Academy used The Wizard of Oz to show that people in life are torn between the choices that they make.
Watch their clip by clicking the link below:
Fraserburgh Academy- Rock Challenge 2012
The choreography that some groups have used in the past are flawless. We would really like to have some slick moves that would give George Samson a run for his money.
Watch George Sampson’s video below:

It’s time for ROCK CHALLENGE
This term we are beginning our second topic which aims to encompass both MADD- Music, Art, Drama and Dance as well as HWB- Health and Wellbeing .
We are using the theme of ROCK CHALLENGE to deliver our topic.
Rock Challenge and the Be Your Best Foundation is a charity which aims to educate children and young people that the choices we make in life from a young age, influence our future.
The final aim of the topic is to perform on Eden Court stage in February to convey a message. We have 8 minutes to impress the audience and the judges but there is one catch-
WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK.
We have to create a piece of movement to music to convey a message. Watch last year’s Rock Challenge by clicking the link below. We are hoping to raise enough money from our Hallowe’en disco to pay our entry fee, however we may need to fundraise further.

See you tomorrow,

Fill your shoe box with useful items such as hat, gloves, scarf, toothpaste and toothbrush

You may want to include a treat- e.g Sweeties (REMEMBER NO CHOCOLATE)

Staying Safe on the Road
REMINDER:
For Friday, WATCH Amir’s Story by clicking the link below. Comment on the post BELOW and say what you think the MAIN MESSAGE is from the clip
As part of staying safe on the road- we need to remember to STOP-LOOK and- LISTEN
One of the reasons which road accidents are increasing within the teenage years is due to listening to music whilst crossing the road. If you have your headphones in, are you going to hear a car coming around the corner? NO!
This week we are supporting: WALK TO SCHOOL week, but in P6/7- we are also making it ROAD SAFETY WEEK.
Visit the THINK website by clicking the link below. It will give you information, games and videos on staying safe around the road:

Hockey Success
This term, a group of P6/7 have been going to Hockey Club after school with Mrs Campbell on a Tuesday.
On Saturday they played their first tournament- and didn’t they play well!
The Tigers fought hard but were up against some stiff competition. The Cougars played exceptionally well- winning 2 games and drawing in 2 games in the first round which put them first in their section, and qualified them to play in the play offs for the cup. They won 1 game and lost 1 game which made them 2nd overall in the whole competition. The team got the runner up medals which is an excellent achievement.
This is an excellent result for their first tournament! Keep up the good work whilst representing Lochardil!

This week is Walk to School Week. Today we got a leaflet, bookmark and sticker from the JRSO reminding us of the importance to WALK TO SCHOOL.
This links in with our topic on ‘Weather and Climate Change’ as we’re trying to think of ways to reduce our Carbon Footprint and Global Warming.
Why not try one of these ways of getting to school this week, INSTEAD of the car?:
- Walking
- Cycling
- Skateboarding
- Scooting
You do however have to make sure you are being SAFE whilst using these travel methods. In the darker nights, we need to make sure that we: ‘BE SAFE- BE SEEN’. We should:
- Wear bright, fluorescent clothing.
- Have lights/reflectors on our bikes.
- Wear helmets and protective clothing when going on our bikes, skateboards and scooters.
- LOOK LEFT- RIGHT and LEFT AGAIN when crossing the road.

Anna Mac– Anna has shown maturity since entering Primary 6- impressing her teachers. She is showing her ability to act responsibly. Keep up the hard work Anna!
Orrin B– Orrin displays excellent manners within the classroom. His friends have commented that he is a ‘helpful friend who cheers people up when they are lonely’. A great Lochardil Citizen Orrin!
