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.
Well done, Lexie Boland for achieving your 3rd Kai grading in Judo. Fantastic work!
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.”
