Month: March 2022

Saturday 26th March was a very exciting day in the village of Crawford- it was the long awaited Community Fun Day organised by the Parent Council.

It was a beautiful, sunny day and the weather brought lots of people out for this great fun day. Children and adults were able to enjoy the Pump Track, the Silent Disco and the Crazy Golf. Bonnie’s Face painting was a huge hit too.

Refreshments were served in the Village Hall and there was a great spread of sandwiches, biscuits and cakes. £101.28 was donated to the school for refreshments. That was a lovely surprise. Thank you to everyone who donated.

The activities were captured on the 3 GO Pros purchased for the school. We will have lots of fun using them in the future too.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day such a success. It was wonderful!

 

This term the children have had the opportunity to take part in netball and rugby afterschool clubs. It has been lovely to re-introduce clubs and the children have had a wonderful time. Thank you to the netball and rugby coaches!

P1-P7 thoroughly enjoyed their first school trip to Vindolanda. The children loved the museum where they had the opportunity to take part in a Roman classroom and look at Roman artefacts. They also had the chance to explore Roman grounds and play in the Roman fort play park.  We had a wonderful time!

P4-P7 attended the Small Schools Cross Country event, which was held at Lanark Racecourse. All of the children showed great team spirit and enjoyed taking part in the competition.  We look forward to returning next year!

We have just started a subscription with Reading Eggs. The pupils in P4-7 enjoyed their first session on it and are excited to do lots more reading and learning on the website. The pupils are able to log in at  home too. They evaluated their first session.

What fun P1-7 had today baking Roman honey biscuits. Great work team!!

A huge thank you to everyone who sent donations for Ukraine in to the school on Monday 14th March.

We are delighted with the generosity of parents, staff and villagers. The pupils were very excited to load up the trolley and by late afternoon it was full and overflowing.

Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Period Positive South Lanarkshire

 

South Lanarkshire Council has been consulting  young people on the use of free Period Products in schools. Results of this consultation will be shared  in the coming months.

Outside of schools, residents of South Lanarkshire have been able to order Period Products online which are then delivered to their homes.  Products are also available free of charge in every South Lanarkshire building.

Our P6/7 girls completed this survey about the service provided in primary schools. South Lanarkshire Council would appreciate if parents and family members could also complete the survey.

P4-7 are working hard on the Beyond the Panda topic with Sandie. This week was the last session and the pupils learned about tea ceremonies in China. They are very excited to learn that Sandie will visit the school on Tuesday 10th May. We are all looking forward to meeting her face to face after  a session of online lessons.
