Face Britain

Face Britain is a national project that invites all young people in the UK to submit a self-portrait. The artwork will be part of a world record attempt and hopefully the biggest online gallery of self-portraits in the world. To find out more click here.

Mrs Starkey worked with P1-3 and P4-7 already had some work so our school has taken part and the work can be found here. The password is the name of our village, all in lower case.

Disco

On the last day of term, the P7s organised a disco. The whole school and P7s from other schools were invited and we had a great night. The disco was organised to raise funds for the P7s residential trip and in the end they nearly raised £175. On behalf of the P7s and all of those that attended, we’d like to thank everyone that donated to the tuck shop and raffle prizes, you were very generous. Also thanks to the members of the PFA who helped on the night – Mrs Clark and Mrs Alexander on the tuck shop, Mrs McBain on the door, Mrs Hunter on the raffle and Mrs Henderson on the raffle and making an excellent job of sorting out the money. Mrs Alexander also deserves another mention as she was very generous with donations to the tuck shop, thanks again.

Thanks also to Mrs Turnbull for helping run and support the night and well done to all of those who attended and had fun.

Hope everyone has a nice Easter break.

Our School Disco

On the 30^th of March 2012 Brydekirk Primary had a disco. It was to raise money so we could buy instruments. The disco was up in the hall. We did a huge plan on all the stuff we needed do, get or make like: organisation, communication, refreshments, equipment and information. We decided to have our disco at 7:30-9:30. After we planned the disco we got ready for it so we designed posters, flyers, decorations and entry fees. We moved the stuff up to the hall and then we got lights, stamps, music and food. Everyone was SUPER exited. We got letters so our parents could give us permission to go to the disco. The disco was very fun and the theme was school of rock. Lots of other schools came. There was a raffle and you won Easter eggs because it was the Easter holidays. you could buy food and drink. I was really tired afterwards.

More Tin Whistles

P4-7 are currently in the middle of a programme of tin whistle tuition under the guidance of Mr Lanchbery. We get a 45 minute lesson every Tuesday and practise in between. The class are coming on, here are a few songs:

Tank Top Tank Top

Fairy Lullaby Fairy Lullaby

Coulter’s Candy Coulter’s Candy

Theme from Chariots of Fire Theme from Chariots of Fire

Cross Country

This year’s Annandale and Eskdale Primary Schools’ Cross Country Competition was held today at Lochmaben Primary, and it was a glorious sunny day.

P4-7 took part in four races: P4-5 girls small schools, P4-5 boys small schools , P6-7 girls small schools and P6-7 boys small schools. The P4-5s ran 800m and the P6-7s ran 1500m.

All pupils who took part did really well, which is no surprise as we’ve been practising hard for the last month running up to today (more details in a further post). We even managed to win some prizes: P4-5 girls came first in the team event (fastest three finished from one school), Sandy came third overall in the P4-5 boy’s race, P4-5 boys came first in the team event and the P6-7 girls came third in the team event. A mention should be made for the P6-7 boys too, who did really well and tried their best.

Many thanks go to Mrs Mannell, Mrs Foster, Tina Lockart and anyone else involved in organising this well run event. Thanks to Lochmaben Primary for hosting this event. Thanks are also due to Mrs Robson for organising the bus, correspondence and sorting out the class’s smart t-shirts with our school name on the back (see below), and for washing them, to Mrs Park for putting on and taking off the numbers and support today and finally thanks are due to the Mums who came along and supported the school.

P4-7 also deserve a pat on the back for all of the effort they have put in before and during this event, including some great cheering on of their class mates. The pictures below are highlights of the day. I’ll post further slide shows of each race.
