Last week Nathan had our Vtech camera to take some photos of his day.

Cassidy and Amy enjoying the lovely cake Mhairi and her Mum made for Iona and Aidan leaving.

Another picture of the pot before the children had started.

After – the children worked really hard to take out all the weeds.

They put more compost in and planted bulbs.

Adian and Iona Last Day

Aidan and Iona left near the end of term. We were all sorry to see them go but wish them good luck in the future.

Open Meeting and Maths Makes Sense evening for parents

Just a post to say thanks to the parents, prospective parents and members of our community who turned out in response to the Cluster Working Review, to support and discuss the best way forward for Brydekirk Primary.

Special thanks to Mr Simpson who presented the current state of affairs to all, and also to Mr McBain Chair of the Parent Council and Councillors Carruthers for their valued input.

This evening was initially planned to share our new approach to teaching Mathematics in our school: Maths Makes Sense. We did manage to cover a bit of this although it made for a long evening, and wasn’t a particularly easy sell after an hour and a half discussing the serious topic of the Cluster Working Review. Here’s a video explaining a bit more and others can be found here.
