Primary 7 – Poppy Appeal

Mr Garven visited Primary 7 this week to inform them that they raised an amazing £95.92 for the Scottish Poppy Appeal 2018. The pupils all worked hard on behalf of Poppy Scotland to sell poppies in the school in the week leading up to Remembrance Day. The money raised will help to provide life changing support to the Armed Forces community in Scotland. Well done Primary 7!

ECC – The O Factor

Catrine ECC was an exhibitor at East Ayrshire’s O Factor, this was a showcase for all the amazing outdoor learning that is happening throughout East Ayrshire.

Jan Wardrop our Outdoor Learning Champion in the ECC was a Nominee for the Excellent Outdoor Practitioner Award. This was for the hard work she has put in to improving and extending Outdoor Learning in the ECC. This was shown in the efforts she put in to the stall she set up for the O Factor exhibition. Practitioners from other centres showed lots of interest and Jan was happy to explain all the things we have been doing.

Primary 7 – Remembrance Service

On Friday morning Primary 7 held their Remembrance Service in the school to commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War. The service was a great success, and the pupils would like to thank everyone who came along to join them to remember those who lost their lives in the war. The class felt very proud to share their learning about the First World War and to display their Poppy Project work for people to see. The poppy banner and handprint wreaths made by the class were also on display at the Remembrance Service in Catrine Parish Church on Sunday.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”

Barry Holmes (Active Schools Coordinator) from Auchinleck Academy has been running the LEAD programme with Primary 6. This programme builds on communication skills and team work. Primary 6 can now use these skills when helping delivering Fun Time Friday, Catrine Buddy system and playground activities.
