Oh no it isn’t, oh yes it is!

We had a lovely school trip on the train to the panto and ice skating.

Everyone represented the school well; including Emily who was one of four audience members picked to help on stage.

Well done to all staff involved and a big thanks to Mrs Robson who planned the trip to run like clockwork.

Also a big thanks to th PFA for heavily subsidising the cost per pupil.

Tennis

When it’s sunny we’re out for tennis this term:

Halloween Disco

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.

Mr Sweeney came and worked with the whole school this afternoon, introducing us to Heart Start – Learning Emergency Life Support.

We learned valuable information about different situations, what to do and when. We also got to practise different skills: putting someone in the recovery position, checking for breathing and even doing CPR on our own dummies (although we didn’t manage to bring them back to life).

P4-7 Top Ten Class Rules

Our Class Rules, not like the Queen, but rather what we think are important rules for our class.

Wordle

Tag Rugby

This term P4-7 have enjoyed rugby coaching from Colin Warrick and Mr Henderson from Annan Rugby. We are hoping to enter a team for the Rugby 7’s event later this month, where we’ll be able to put our skills to the test and have some fun.

Our Football Tournament

Brydekirk Primary held its annual small schools competition on Wednesday, and everyone had a great time.

Thanks to all who came and took part. It was a close competition although Canonbie Primary ended up winning – well done.

Thanks also to Mr Simpson for setting up and running the tournament, to Councillor Carruthers for refereeing, to Mrs Robson for administering the tournament and to the Brydekirk Primary PFA for supporting the event with some lovely baking and hot grub.

Sprint for Fun Day

We had a Sprint for Fun Day on Tuesday 28th August. The entire school took part and had a wonderful morning. Thank you to Tina for arranging the event.

Here are some photos.
