We have our class house points system and team points. Golden Time is on a
Wednesday/ Friday to work towards. Our class ‘Well Done Wall’ celebrates achievements
both within and out- with school. So remember to share with us any ‘Wows’ your child
has so we can celebrate too.
At Lochardil we place importance on developing global citizens through Learning for
Sustainability. We are currently using Rights Respecting Schools as a focus for driving
forward our work and every month we have a Right of the Month. For this term they
include –
January- Article 24: Health
February - Article 17: Safety of information
March- Article 28,29: Education
Below are the key learning experiences that the class will be working on through a
variety of activities designed to encourage your child to learn new knowledge, skills,
values and attitudes. I have shared the 3 core learning areas and also our class theme to
provide you with a general picture of what is happening during term 3 within our class.
By the end of this term I would expect most children to have achieved the targets listed
below, and for all children to have achieved and attained as the best they can.
