Parental Questionnaire Term 1

School Values

In our classes we are continuing to focus on our School Values, and have started to create the loveliest displays highlighting how we show these Values in our daily school life.

This week we discussed our School Value of Determination and how it applies to us in Catrine PS. Please look at your child’s class blog to see their definitions of Determination.

Fiona McKinnon is “retiring” from Catrine Parent Council after many, many years of invaluable hard work and support. Fiona has served as a parent member and also as Secretary over the years. Fiona has worked tirelessly to support the school with Fundraising expertise, organising Family Fun Nights, taking part in school fayre raffles/stalls, school discos – the list is endless! Fiona will be undoubtedly missed! A huge THANK YOU from all the staff and pupils of Catrine Primary School.

Please complete the questionnaire below. Thank you.

The school will be closed on Thursday 17, Friday 18 and Monday 21 September for the long weekend. Children will start back on Tuesday 22 September.

Have Fun!!

Thank you.

We love sharing our learning, and in the past have posted class updates and highlights on our main GLOW blog page.  To ensure that we don’t run out of space on our blog again, each class now has their own Class Blog.  When you go onto our main page you will see a tab titled ‘Primary School Classes’.  When you click on your child’s class, it will take you to their Class Blog page where you will find tabs on Class Information, Home Learning and Class Learning.

The Class Information section will contain details about PE days and any upcoming events and dates for the diary.  The calendar at the side of the page also contains details on any highlighted dates.

The Home Learning section will contain any suggestions for home learning activities and homework details.  We are currently updating our homework policy in line with national guidelines and will keep you informed about any changes so we won’t be issuing homework for the next few weeks as our pupils settle back into their classroom routines.

The Class Learning section will keep you updated about what your child is learning about in their class.  It’s where we’ll put photos and blog posts from both the teacher and the pupils.

Please note that we can only share photos of pupils who have a completed Photographic Consent Form for this session – currently only 60% of our pupils have had this form completed for them.  The form is on GLOW – please contact the school office for any further details.

Our school GLOW blog and our school APP are our main ways on communicating with parents/carers, so check them regularly as we are trying to reduce the amount of paper information that we are sending home.  Thanks for your continued support.

Mrs Govans

Each class will be participating in PE sessions outdoors over the next few weeks, in line with national guidelines.  On your child’s PE days, they should come to school wearing their school uniform on top (poloshirt/sweatshirt/blouses/cardigans) and suitable leggings/trackies, trainers and jackets so that they can take a full part in our active PE sessions in our playgrounds.

Any changes to class PE days will be highlighted on the class blogs.
