Tag: P1 – 4
Church and Police Station Visit
P1 to 4 had a great time visiting Annan old Parish church last month. The children got to see the Diroms grave, and learn more about the Dirom family. They also got to visit Annan Police Station where they got to look inside the police van and the police cells.
Here are some photos from the trip.
Well Done Tegan
Well done to Tegan who passed her intro 1 in Ballroom dance and intro 1 in Latin dance.
Gala Swimmers
Well done to Daniel and Douglas who took part in the Annan Riding of the Marches Gala front crawl swimming. Daniel came first in his event and Douglas came third.
Mr and Mrs Wilkins Visit
Mr and Mrs Wilkins came in to talk to the p1 – 4 class about the Diroms. Mrs Wilkins wrote a book about the Diroms which the children have been using to learn more about the history of Brydekirk. The children were all very interested in what Mr and Mrs Wilkins had to say and they all had some great questions to ask them both. Thank you very much Mr and Mrs Wilkins.
Cross Stitch
After learning how to cross stitch with Mrs Mann the children have made some fantastic cross stitch pictures. Here are some of the p4 children with their finished work. Great work!
News
Above is a story about us in the Dumfries and Galloway Standard.
We also got some feedback from the Scottish Education Award Judges which we are allowed to share below.
Well done again to everyone involved and also to those mentioned below:
Dear Mr Archibald,
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the Brydekirk team for today. We really appreciate the hard work and time that everyone put in to making us feel so welcome. We were all struck by the enthusiasm and confidence of everyone we spoke to. Please pass on our thanks to the parents who took the time to come and talk to us today too. It really helped to give us a rounded understanding of everyone’s perspective.
It was good to get a chance to speak to Marion and Deidre about their perspective on the iCoffee events. And a great problem solving opportunity for Mhari, Lexi and Emily who came up with a fantastic solution to the Peppa Pig problem- very good thinking girls!
We were very impressed by the range of apps that the children explained to us clearly- we all learned lots, thank you (but we still think Martyn learned most)! It was really helpful to be able to see the apps in action and gave us a clear idea about how having the iPads is making your learning better. It was really useful to show us examples of what you had been doing as well as explaining it to us.
The writing you did around ‘A Christmas Carol’ really blew us away. Duncan, thank you for explaining the process to us and you dealt really well with having a shorter amount of time than you planned for too. The effort and hard work you all put into the project is amazing. We will definitely look out for the blog post.
Sandy did a great job of summing up the benefits of having access to technology in its many forms at the end and coped brilliantly under time pressure. I certainly don’t envy you Mr Archibald in having to decide who comes along to the awards ceremony in June. That will be a tough decision but I’m sure the children will help.
Finally Mr Archibald, special thanks to you. We all appreciate how busy a teacher’s job is and we are very grateful for the time you have taken to prepare for the visit and coordinate the range of people we spoke to.
Best wishes
Alison, Martyn and Tony
Well Done Sarah
Sarah went to a Lamb Show during the long weekend. Congratulations to Sarah who’s Lamb came second. Well done.
Rugby Sevens
James went to see the Rugby Sevens in Glasgow at the weekend. Teams from all over the world go together to play against each other. He met the Scotland Mascot and the entire Scotland team.
Drama and judging on a Friday
Here are some pictures of our Drama Club making use of the new stage and storytelling chair, which we bought with Lottery funding.
On another note thanks to all pupils, parents, community members and staff who shared our learning with the three judges from the Scottish Education Awards, you were all great. We now need to wait until June the 10th to find out the result.
