Primary 1 to 3 children have been working very hard on their monster topic this term. They have made monsters using boxes and other materials for all the parents to see when they visit for parents evening.
Below are some photos of the children making their monsters.
All had a fun time at our Halloween Disco last night with dancing and some games.
Well done to all who took part with some cracking costumes on display. The P7s deserve a mention for organising some of the night, well done.
Also a big thanks to the parents and staff who helped out: Mark’s Mum, Ellie’s Mum, Adam’s Mum, Emily and Sarah’s Mum, Iona and Aidan’s Mum, Sandy and Douglas’s Mum, James’s Mum, Mrs Turnbull, Ms Burn and Mr Archibald.
The proceeds raised will go towards the P7 residential trip later this year.

Well done to Emily, James and Adam who completed the Dalbeattie Hardrock Challenge! Congratulations to Emily who came first in her classification, a great achievement at this level of competition.
On the evening of Thursday the 11th of October, the staff invited all Brydekirk Primary parents in for a presentation about the new upper school approach to reading: Accelerated Reader.
There was a great turn out of parents who listened carefully to all of the work that has and is going on with reading and the library in the school. The parents also came up with a great suggestion for children to bring books they have previously read in and even came up with a sensible way to do this.
Below are the slides from Mr Archibald’s presentation and also a parent’s guide to AR.
Thanks to all involved.
