P4-7 have started a block of work called Beyond the Panda in conjunction with the wildlife conservation charity R.Z.S.S.

Their first session was a fact finding session all about the Giant Panda. The pupils learned lots and even saw a real panda skull. The pupils are looking forward to the rest of the sessions and are excited about what they will learn.

Rebecca had her first Transition meeting this week. She was on an online meeting with Mr Stewart and Miss McFarlane along with the P7 pupils from Abington Primary.

Rebecca really enjoyed the meeting and learned lots about Biggar High School. She went on a tour of the school through Miss McFarlane’s phone. Rebecca has received her Mission Transition folder and is looking forward to starting work on that next week.

This week was the last session of Music with Mr Johnstone for P4-7. The pupils took part in a music quiz which revised all the work Mr Johnstone has done with the pupils over the last few months.

A big thank you to Mr Johnstone for the online lessons and especially for the face to face sessions before Christmas.

This week we had our first session of Outdoor Learning with Claire from Wild Things. The pupils made nature mobiles and were very proud of their work. A big thank you to Claire for bringing lots of interesting resources for us to use.

On Monday 18th January P1-3 and P4-7 each watched an assembly by NSPCC introduced by Ant and Dec with the help of the mascot Buddy.

Both assemblies had very strong messages for the children presented in an exciting way. The children enjoyed them and P4-7 made posters with the important messages and displayed them around the school.

As we approach 25th January, the birthday of Robert Burns, all pupils are learning a Scots poem. All pupils  from P1 to P7 have been given a poem to try and learn and what a great effort they are all putting into it. On Rabbie’s birthday every pupil will be given the opportunity to recite the poem they have been learning to the rest of the school. Good luck everyone!

A very Happy New Year to all our readers.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

All pupils and staff returned to school eager to start work in 2022.

A big warm welcome was given to Mrs Macpherson, our new headteacher. The pupils are enjoying getting to know her and they look forward to sharing lots of new experiences with her as Headteacher of the school.

We hope you will love your time at Crawford Primary, Mrs Macpherson!
