We were so lucky that the sun shone for our Sports Day last week! What a fantastic morning. Well done to all the children (and adults!) who took part. Once again our pupils impressed us with their sportsmanship, encouragement and determination. Well done everyone!
All children should arrive at the school tomorrow (Thursday 13th June) for 8.30 a.m. as the bus to Blair Drummond will leave the school at 8.45 a.m. prompt.

Caleb & Curtis took part in the Cumnock Juniors Boys Club Tournament at the weekend. They both received a trophy for their participation.
Clark took part in the Vision’s Annual Championship Gala at the weekend . He had a very successful day winning lots of medals and trophies.
Last week P3/4 were shown how to help in an emergency. Mrs Watt came into class to talk to us about DR ABC, how to help if we found someone unconscious. She also showed us how to perform CPR. The kids loved it and we all learned a lot. Thank you Mrs Watt!
Yesterday eleven Primary 7 pupils attended the STEAM Transition Day at Dumfries House which was organised by Auchinleck Academy. The pupils had the opportunity to experience five STEAM workshops throughout the day: Science, Technical, Computing, Maths and Art. The day was a great chance for the pupils to meet and make friends with pupils from other primary schools, to get to know teachers from the academy, to learn lots and have fun too!
We’re all looking forward to a great trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park on Thursday 13th June.

George Burns, our STEM Advisor, volunteers at Catrine Primary School on a weekly basis. George has had a successful career as an electrical engineer and now has great pleasure passing on his expertise! George has just been awarded “Primary Engineer Inspirer” at the “Scottish Engineering Leaders Awards”. This award recognises an individual who has excelled in their personal support to primary school pupils taking part in the Scottish Engineering Leaders Award.
A huge well done to Keir and Abbie who have been shortlisted in a National STEM Engineering Competition. The creative pair had their designs selected from an incredible 17,500 entries to be picked for an exhibition at Strathclyde University.
Only 524 entries from across Scottish Primaries were shortlisted for the prestigious event. Abbie wowed the judges with her CoolWave invention whilst Keir impressed them with his Sign Language Robot.
Both design will be on display this Friday and Saturday at a Public Exhibition at the University of Strathclyde 9am until 4pm each day.
Well done Abbie and Keir.
Please note that if you have difficultly accessing the new guidelines or completing the online forms, please contact the school office who will be happy to help you.
Mrs McDicken
Today George was in our class for his last visit this session to help us finish our pirate STEM crafts. We were making pirate eye-patches and pirate hats. We have had great fun over the last few weeks making pirate treasure chest, weapons, flags and pirate ships.
Look at our fearsome pirate faces…
