We planted trees in the playing field and playground with Mr Duncan Ford on Monday 18th April. We planted fruit trees and hedge plants. We planted 4 in the playground and 4 in the playing field. We all had lots of fun!

A couple days after Mr Ford went, Mrs Pirt split us up into different groups to plant the remaining trees and hedges. One group stayed in the playground with Mrs Pirt and planted flowers in pots. The other two groups went up into the playing field and planted the trees and hedges.

The P4 – 7’s have had lots of exercise this term! The football team played in a five-a-side tournament at Springfield Primary School. Sadly they didn’t win anything. Over the last coming weeks we have had netball training with our P.E teacher Mrs Foster and Tina Lockart. We interviewed her.

We have also had Badminton with Jamie up in the village hall.

We also went to a curling tournament took place at Lockerbie Ice Rink not so long ago. P6 and 7 went. Heidi and Firing Flames had to join the Tundergarth team. In the finals, the Brydekirk and Brydekirk/Tundergarth teams played against each other. Brydekirk/Tundergarth won and the Brydekirk team came second. Thanks to Miss Johnstone and Mrs Noble for transporting us there.

In art with our art teacher, Mrs Starkey, we drew pictures of daffodils and then coloured them in or painted them.

We also decided to do a big display of a rainforest for our topic. We have finished a river and leaves for it.

landyachts

On Thursday 31st March, the whole school made land yachts with Jonas and Ann, who work for Generation Science. We learnt what an axel, a body and a sail is. We learnt how when you blow on to the sail it then moves the wheels which make it move. A main sheet stops it from going right round. We watched a video about real land yachts in action. It was really good fun making the land yachts and we would like to say a big thank you to Jonas and Ann for helping us make these wonderful land yachts and we really appreciate that the school invited them here for the day.
