Blog to share learning of small, Scottish rural school
Here are some pictures of P4-7 changing the water in the hatching tank and also on the hunt for locally sourced river stones. Fortunately, the River Annan has plenty of stones that we could borrow for our newly hatched fish, alevins, to hide below.
Some more of our project homework, which was presented to the class.
Some of our project homework set earlier in the term.
Our alevins are coming on! We’ve been in touch with Nick who will have to come and pick them up soon.
Today, Nick, from the Annan Fisheries Trust, brought us the fish eggs that we are going to look after.
A first example of our Salmon Lifecyle animations edited into a short film.
Here are the separate animations produced by pairs in P4-7:
We recently had a visit from Mrs Roberts from E.ON Energy. The entire school learned about energy and how they can save energy in school and at home. Below are some photos of the visit.

Generation Science
My name is Ellie and I am writing about Generation Science. On the 19th of March 2012, some people from Generation Science in Glasgow came to see us at Brydekirk Primary, to show us how to control robots.
Now the robots were made out of Lego and sometimes they fell apart, mostly the head, it was very funny. They were about the size of your hand. We were shown how to control the robots like turn left or right, forwards or backwards. Next we got put in to groups and we got test cards: they were put in test abc…After all the tests we had a disco with lights, it was amazing. We all made our robots dance but one group didn’t dance and instead stood still instead of their really cool dance.
I had a vote about Generation Science. It was mostly amazing and good feedback. I thought it exiting and I would love to do it again next year. Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed it by Ellie.
Here is a display of the work Primary 1 to 3 have been doing about cars. They made cars as part of their topic and investigated which model was the best by seeing which car went furthest.
Please click on the pictures for close ups. Enjoy!
