We’ve had some interesting Holiday Homework in this week: we’ve had stories about holidays, sticker books, Banagrams, Orangutans and this stop animation above.
Happy New Year!

Eels in the Classroom
A week last Friday the P7s and a bonus P5 represented the school and the Eels in the Classroom Project at the Johnstonebridge Community Centre, after school. One of the P7s made a speech about her experience which I have shared below, and which contains an important message. Hannah is dressed as Roald Dahl ‘s Matilda for good measure!
Mr Mac’s Last Day
It’s Mr Mac’s last day and we wished him good luck.
The little class had all written good luck messages, which they read for Mr McIntyre.
Following that, the big class sang a song that they have learned as part of their Lochinvar Project.
Next the big class all performed a poem they wrote called: D’ ye mind ae Mr Mac?
Finally, Mr McIntyre gave a speech and said farewell.
Good luck Mr Mac and all the best!
From all at Brydekirk Primary
Lochinvar Recital
Here’s a video showing some of our Border Reivers topic work: our Lochinvar Tapestry accompanied by Daniel in P4-7 reciting the poem by Sir Walter Scott.
Holiday Homework
What a term it’s been at Brydekirk and we are all ready for a break before the final term.
Here are some ideas for holiday homework, that P5-7 came up with, for anyone interested or at a loose end:
- Mini Science Project
- Take RME Values lessons and do another example
- work on the iXL challenge
- write a newspaper article
- make a presentation
- make a piece of art
- write your own verse’s of Claire’s “Oh Aye!” song
- practice Duolingo
- do something about anything
- or anything about something
Have a good holiday!

More Nonsense
More nonsense, from the other group last term
A Spot of Nonsense
This was made by one half of P5-7 and was one of the Nonsense poems learned off by heart last term. Hannah was accidentally missed from the credits!
Readathon Book Week
Miss Primrose has organised a Readathon for the next fortnight. Pupils will be reading as much as they can to raise money for a good cause, good luck.
Our P1, P2 and P3 pupils also received their book bags from the Scottish Book Trust in time for Scottish Book Week:
P5-7 Holiday Homework
Today is the last day of a busy first term.
After discussing Holiday Homework, here are some ideas:
Reading: library books have been issued.
Tin Whistle: 2 new tunes have been issued to any class members interested.
Otherwise, we discussed doing something related to any places you visit, for example a diary or journal. Anything Nonsense related would be fine, for example writing and illustrating a story using characters from a Nonsense poem. As ever anyone else who wants to work on their own project should do so and all work can be presented on the first week back. Of course those who want to set themselves a challenge on iXL or anything else should go for that too.
Make sure you have a good break too and enjoy your holiday.

P5-7 Homework
I have updated the P-7 Homework Page to reflect changes for this session, as discussed with parents earlier this term at Meet the Teacher evening.
This term I have also challenged the pupils to learn as much as they can of a Nonsense poem of their choice, off by heart.
