Pet Of The Week 2021-2022
Bailey Is The Last POTW This Year
In the week that saw us head off on our House Trip, both P2 classes voted for Pet Of The Week. Lets see the runners and riders
P2 take it very seriously – there were rumours from other weeks that people had been telling their friends who to vote for – that is NOT in the spirit of Pet Of The Week where we all follow our hearts.
As you can see from the graph – Bailey was the overwhelming choice from both classes

P4W Are This Week’s Committee
P4W with Miss Wilson are this week’s Pet Of The Week committee. Unfortunately half of the class were off rock scrambling on a beautiful spring day for their photoshoot..!!!
P4W tried to describe themselves as cheeky chatterbox monkeys…!!! However they are far better described by other words that they used like kind, clever and fun…!!

P4B are working with Amy from Citymoves and wanted to give us a wee tease of their dance project
P1 Voted Rosie As Pet Of The Week
Due to some appalling administration at POTW HQ last week, there was no Pet Of The Week, so we had a collab and mash up between Miss Davidson’s P1 class and Miss Simpson’s P1 class. Lets have a look at the runners and riders
Again, due to Appalling Administration (Mrs Mathers left her phone in the office) there are no pictures of the actual voting this week…but over the 2 classes, Rosie was the winner..!!
As always – lets see what that does to the graph
P2S Voted Millie As Pet Of The Week
Its been a momentous day in Pet Of The Week History as, for the first time ever, Mrs Mathers didn’t do Pet Of The Week..! Little bit swamped in the school office today so Miss McDonald was in charge – after a hasty training session.
Lets have a look at the runners and riders
P2S however know to be respectful rabbits and responsible rhinos and took the role of Pet Of The Week Committee very seriously
Millie and her moustache was a worthy winner
Lets See what that does to the graph..!!
P2S Are This Week’s Committee
P2S are a class full of friendship, kindness, joy, and PANCAKES…!!!!!!

Well done P2S although the office staff also like pancakes – just saying for next year…!!!!
The Big Collab – P3MO and P3P choose Pet Of The Week
It was another Collab week where P3MO and P3P collaborated to choose Pet Of The Week together…!!! Lets have a look at the runners and riders
Making choices if difficult and recently the Pet Of The Week theme has been making choices with conviction – so deciding who you are going to vote for with a sureness and a steadfastness..!

As always, lets see what that does to the graph

The P7s can be quite unpredictable as a group but they understood the gravitas of the task..
P7 Are This Week’s Pet Of The Week Committee
P7 Are the rockstars of Hazlehead School – They work hard and they play hard too…!! Mrs Harper and Mr Crowther keep them on the straight and narrow until we unleash them on an unsuspecting world in just a few months time..! Its a worry that in 6 years they will be able to vote – not just on ultra important things like Pet Of The Week, but on lesser things like who is going to run the country..!!
P6/7 Choose Honey As Pet Of The Week
In the week when Scotland retained the Calcutta Cup (which has visited the school in the past), P6/7 voted Honey as Pet Of The Week.
Lets take a look at the runners and riders
This term we are concentrating on the idea of having CONVICTION – you always have to follow your heart but you need to have the conviction that the choice you have made is the right choice and you can confidently stand behind that.
Honey would be the ideal class pet for P6/7 – they are quiet, gentle and kind too..!
We had some extra voters this week – Mrs Gordon was in class at the time, along with Mrs Wraith. Miss McDonald, Miss Murchison (as always) and Emmeline our Music Therapist also joined in having the courage of their convictions..!
In the end it was a clear win for Honey
As always, lets see what that does to the graph…!!

In the week that saw us lose one of the greatest recording artists of all time in Meat Loaf, P5M picked Coco the ninja hamster as Pet Of The Week

Voting is always a difficult process, but with so many floofers, choosing who to vote for was extra hard…if one was being harsh one could use the word dithering…
The data sheet has been lost to the sands of time and Christmas desk tidying, so no graph this week – sorry.

In the week that saw us battered and frozen after Storm Arwen, P2NM voted for Belle and Blue as Pets Of The Week. Lets have a look at the runners and riders.
Most of P2NM had voted before when they were in P1 but it was a good idea to go over what we do. We also talked about being Responsible Rhinos and how voting is something we will do throughout life – and you should always follow your heart

As always – lets see what that does to the graph…
Well done Willow – on to Pet Of The Term for you…!!!!!
Gus Is Pet Of The Term
Mr Crowther absolutely did in no way threated his class with appalling reports on Parent’s Night if they didn’t vote for Gus the cat. It can’t be proved (and trust me, the Anti Corruption Squad at POTW HQ have tried….!!!)
Gus will continue to boss everyone around at home, but now he will do it with some treats…
Lets see what that did to the graphs..

P3M are definite animal lovers with the current favourites being horses, rabbits and unicorns..!!
Pip Is Pet Of The Week
Due to circumstances outwith our control, we were VERY hip and happening this week at POTW HQ and we did a collab…! P7 missed voting on their week, so it was both P7 and P3P who were voting this week.

Voting took a wee while because, as we know you have to “Follow Your Heart” and sometimes to takes a while for you to know what your heart wants…
Also, as happens most weeks, Miss Murchison just happened to be there when the voting was taking place. Mrs Mellough and Mrs Wraith ALSO just “happened to be passing”….
To be fair, it wasn’t a very close vote this week – Ozzie’s Teddy Bear features made him irresistible!!
As always – lets see what that does to the graph….
P5M Are This Week’s Committee
This motley crew are P5M – 24 of the keenest readers in the school. Miss Morrison is herself a long standing contributor to Pet Of The Week as she basically lives in a zoo.
