Blog to share learning of small, Scottish rural school
We entered a girls and a boys team into the Road Relay event last week at the Everholm in Annan. Well done to the boys who came 14th overall and also to the girls team below, who came 9th overall and 3rd in the small schools.

On Friday the 14th of September, Brydekirk Primary got together where pupils and staff wore yellow and the school was opened up for a coffee afternoon. Parents and the wider community were invited to join us and donations were given where we raised over £100: all proceeds will be sent to Marie Curie.
The event recognised the recent passing of Mark Nicholson, one of our parents of former pupils Amy, Katie and Dan. Our deepest condolences go to them and Debbie and Ellie.
Our first match was against Langholm Jets and it was a very physical match which we won 6-1. Our next match was against Hecklegirth Stingwrays and they missed a couple of chances so we won 3-0. After a forty minute break we played Newington Warriors and lost 2-0 to a very skillful team. Then we had a play-off against Langholm again and it was a very rough match but we won 2-1. Our next match was against Hecklegirth Harriers, it was a very fast paced match and we lost 1-0. So it was a fight for third and we were against Newington Wildcats and they were well prepared so we lost 2-1.
Finally, it was presentation time. Hecklegirth came 1st, Newington Warriors came 2nd and Newington Wildcats came 3rd. Brydekirk came 4th and we all tried 100%.
