Month: August 2021

At Crawford Primary we strive to be fit and healthy. We take part in the Daily Mile to help us stay this way. At a set time every day we walk around the school for 15 minutes. What an amazing view we have from our school playground. We are very lucky!

P1-7 have started work on a topic on The Sea with Miss Erskine and Mrs Wood. In the first session the pupils talked about what they know already, what they would like to learn and how they would present their work. The teachers were then able to make a plan for the term using the ideas of the pupils. Everyone is enjoying the topic so far and we are all really excited about the activities planned.

Our pupils do P.E. on a Monday and a Tuesday afternoon as a P1-7 class. They are learning to work well as a team and be considerate of each other. They are also learning the skills of Gymnastics. Fun! Fun! Fun!

A huge thank you to James, Alec and Yvonne Walkinshaw who were responsible for watering the vegetables in our school garden over the Summer holidays. As it was a very hot, dry Summer this was a mammoth task and we are very grateful to these 3 people for doing the job so well. The tatties were ready during the Summer and parents were given the chance to collect some from the playground. The carrots are now ready. James and Alec dug them up and all pupils were given some home to try. The leeks and pumpkins are still growing.

Great job The Walkinshaws.Thank you very much.

A huge welcome back to everyone at Crawford Primary, after a wonderful Summer holiday.

All pupils and staff returned to school with big smiles on their faces and looking forward to a busy year.

A huge welcome to our new P1, George Scott. George has settled really well and has lots of buddies in school to show him the ropes.

A big welcome too to Kadie who has joined us in P2. We hope she will be really happy to be a part of the Crawford Primary family.

Also a huge welcome to two new members of staff- Miss Erskine and Ms Cassells. Miss Erskine will be teaching groups alongside Mrs Wood. Ms Cassels is the new School Support Assistant. We are sure you will have a great year with us.

We hope the new people all feel at home in Crawford Primary and we are delighted to have you with us.
