A New Teacher
I would like our new teacher to be a female like Mrs.Pirt so when Mrs.Pirt leaves it won’t be that big of a change big of a change we would still have a female teacher.
I think that our new teacher should be patient so when someone’s bad they don’t just shout at them all the time. They’ll be calm and patient, tell them that they want them to stop being bad and they will stay calm and not just shout all the time and get mad at us.
I think that they should be kind. We don’t want someone who will be mean to us all the time and not let us do what we want to do. And make us do the same thing all the time. They should let us have a say and get a chance to shine and show off.
They should be easy to talk to not all big and strict and you’re scared to talk to them. It should come out easy because theres no point hiding it because the truth will be discovered and you kept it a secret so you would be in deep trouble and you could of let it go on more when it shouldn’t have been happening.
They should also be very enthusiastic so they won’t hesitate and if they hesitate we’ll hesitate. They should be confident not scared but brave and confident so they can make us brave and confident for us to have a good future when were older and looking for a house and a job to be happy.
They should be interactive not shy, aiming to make us shine and stand out from other schools and be noticed because we’re a small school. We don’t really get noticed a lot compared to other schools.
They should also be brainy to help us on a hard Question in Maths or English. They will help us solve it and not just give us the answer so next time we know how to solve it next time.
They should let us do new things and not just do the same thing everyday and theres no change.
For Haiti we organised all the events ourselves and I would like to do it again when our new teacher gets here I’d like to do it in any up coming events.
Our new teacher should still let us do French. They should know how to talk it and know how to teach us it but still only the P6-7’s are allowed to do it.
Our new teacher shouldn’t be afraid to speak their mind because if we’re doing something wrong they should say and not be afraid.
They should be sporty so every lunchtime we could run round the field three times each day for cross country.
Our new teacher should be raring to go and prepared for anything. They shouldn’t hesitate.
They should be artistic so we can make things and put them up all over the school and show off to visitors how great we are.
Our teacher should be fair not strict kind but not too kind and nice.
Our new teacher should come with us when we go on trips so they can make sure everyone is behaving and they could have fun with us.
I think the new teacher should be musical so when we’re doing performances they can help us practice and point out what we’re doing wrong.
I think they should have a sense of humour so they could teach us jokes and how to be funny.
They should also be fun so we can enjoy leaning and have fun doing it.
I’m going to be sad to see Mrs.Pirt leave because it will be a big change. And Mrs.Pirt’s the best teacher ever!!!.

Planting trees
We planted trees in the playing field and playground with Mr Duncan Ford on Monday 18th April. We planted fruit trees and hedge plants. We planted 4 in the playground and 4 in the playing field. We all had lots of fun!
A couple days after Mr Ford went, Mrs Pirt split us up into different groups to plant the remaining trees and hedges. One group stayed in the playground with Mrs Pirt and planted flowers in pots. The other two groups went up into the playing field and planted the trees and hedges.

Sports
The P4 – 7’s have had lots of exercise this term! The football team played in a five-a-side tournament at Springfield Primary School. Sadly they didn’t win anything. Over the last coming weeks we have had netball training with our P.E teacher Mrs Foster and Tina Lockart. We interviewed her.

We also went to a curling tournament took place at Lockerbie Ice Rink not so long ago. P6 and 7 went. Heidi and Firing Flames had to join the Tundergarth team. In the finals, the Brydekirk and Brydekirk/Tundergarth teams played against each other. Brydekirk/Tundergarth won and the Brydekirk team came second. Thanks to Miss Johnstone and Mrs Noble for transporting us there.

Art
In art with our art teacher, Mrs Starkey, we drew pictures of daffodils and then coloured them in or painted them.
We also decided to do a big display of a rainforest for our topic. We have finished a river and leaves for it.

Land Yachts
On Thursday 31st March, the whole school made land yachts with Jonas and Ann, who work for Generation Science. We learnt what an axel, a body and a sail is. We learnt how when you blow on to the sail it then moves the wheels which make it move. A main sheet stops it from going right round. We watched a video about real land yachts in action. It was really good fun making the land yachts and we would like to say a big thank you to Jonas and Ann for helping us make these wonderful land yachts and we really appreciate that the school invited them here for the day.
