P1-3 Class

Term 4, 2024-25

We always love the summer term!  We have got weekly Kodaly lessons this term which helps to teach us music and rhythm, and we will be doing lots of PE to get ready for sports day.  Our topic is castles and we are looking forward to learning everything we can about them.

Term 3, 2024-25

We learnt all about mini-beasts and enjoyed a super bug hunt in the wildlife garden.  We also had some rugby taster sessions which were great fun

Term 2, 2024-25

This term we learnt all about our body, including the names of our major organs, where they are in the body and how they work.  We also worked hard to put on a super Christmas show 'Whoops-a-daisy Angel', which we performed to over 100 people!

Term 1, 2024-25

We welcomed seven new pupils to our P1-3 class this term.  We have enjoyed learning all about farms and food production and used this topic throughout our learning.  At our end of term assembly we acted out 'The gigantic turnip' which was beautifully read by one of our P3 pupils.  We have also enjoyed six, weekly Forest School sessions where we have cooked over the firepit, hunted for bugs, used saws, and made creations out of clay.

Term 4, 2023-24

This term we have been looking at electricity and sound, and we will soon be learning about our bodies and what we need to stay healthy. We are enjoying our weekly forest school sessions and have been very lucky to have warm, sunny weather. We are learning some lovely songs to sing at our end of term assembly, and also practicing hard for sports day.

Term 3, 2023-24

P1-3 made an exciting discovery at the start of this term; a dinosaur egg in our Wildlife Garden! This caused lots of excitement and enthusiasm for the class IDL topic on dinosaurs – I think we may have some future palaeontologists among us! 

Term 2, 2023-24

The P1-3 class are learning about the Festivals of Light, Diwali and Hanukkah, and will also be learning about Christmas. In maths, pupils will be looking at 2D and 3D shapes, and will also be learning about money through their enterprise project which will also involve art & craft. Drama and music will be incorporated in practising for the P1-3 Christmas Play ‘The very hopeless camel’ and in PE we are focusing on gymnastics.

Term 1, 2023-24

We are delighted to welcome seven new Primary 1 pupils to Craigievar School. This term our Interdisciplinary Learning topic is the Weather. The pupils have already done some super drawings of colourful umbrellas in the rain, and we are looking forward to leaves on the trees turning to their autumnal colours. In maths, we are looking at sorting and counting and we enjoy going outside to see what we can find in the wildlife garden to sort and count.
