Well done to our P6 buddies who organised a super literacy transition event for our ECC children.
The children had a great time on their first visit up to the ‘big school’ and enjoyed all the activities that their buddies had set up.
A huge thank you again to the Parent Council for organising a super Spring Disco. As you can see in the photos, we had a great time dancing the night away, playing games and enjoying our sweeties from the tuck shop.
DJ Billy had lots of prizes to give away too.
The annual Lapraik Festival took place on 28th & 29th March.
The event is named in honour of Muirkirk poet and friend of Robert Burns, John Lapraik, and is a celebration of poetry, song and Scots language.
The event on the Saturday morning was for pupils of the local schools who were winners in their own school.
Catrine PS was represented by Harris P5, with his poem ‘Social Dancin’ by Anne Kelly.
We are delighted to say that Harris won 1st place in his age category.
A massive well done, Harris.
All of our pupils have been given their annual Report Card today and I hope you are as proud reading about your child and their progress as we were writing about them! EVERY child in our school has made progress with their own personal learning targets this year and it has been a pleasure to watch them flourish and grow.
The report cards summarise what our pupils have been working on throughout year and also highlights their future learning targets.
We are looking forward to discussing your child’s progress further at our Parents Night next Tuesday, 1st April.
Have a lovely weekend. Mrs Govans 
We are proud as punch of Ashton in P5 who was awarded a Blue Peter Book badge. He had to read and review multiple books and then apply for the badge online. What a fantastic achievement!
