We were so delighted today to finally open our doors and welcome our pupils’ families back in to our school!
It was amazing (and quite emotional) to see so many of you this morning and the staff and children were so proud to show off all the fantastic work that takes place in our classrooms.
A huge well done to our superstars Ellie and Hannah who stood up and demonstrated their maths skills, they were outstanding.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We will look through these and look at ways at continuing to support pupils and families with maths. Look out for future posts on how we have responded to your suggestions.
Thank you so much once again, we really loved having you all back!

Please follow the link for dates for your diary for the following months of September, October and November 2022.
This week is Maths Week Scotland and we are looking forward to taking part in lots of activities throughout the week.
Following on from the success of last year, we are relaunching our National Numeracy’s Family Maths scrapbooks and activities. These are activities that help children and families to explore everyday maths at home together. They link the maths that children are learning at school with life outside the classroom.
To help you and your child complete these activities every pupil will bring home a toolkit packed full of equipment to help you get creative.
Please come along to our Maths Open Morning this Wednesday 28th at 9am for more information on supporting your child at home with maths. You will also have the opportunity to visit your child’s classroom and see all the amazing maths activities that take place there every day.
Have fun exploring your toolkit and I look forward to looking through the scrapbooks.

As part of Maths Week Scotland next week we are delighted to be able to open our doors and welcome parents and carers into the school.
The main doors will open at 9.00am and a short presentation will be given in the main hall.
There is then an opportunity for you to go and join your child in their classroom and take part in their maths lesson.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 28th September at 9.00am.

Our P7 pupils are kickstarting their fundraising for their Leavers Hoodies by inviting all pupils to join them in a Dress Down Day next Thursday.
Pupils can donate £1 via Parent Pay and come to school wearing casual clothes ( no football colours please).
P7 have a few more fundraising events planned throughout the year, and they’d like to thank you for your support.
When we celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June this year, we wrote letters in our classes and posted them off to Buckingham Palace. We have received this lovely letter from Balmoral Castle, thanking the pupils of Catrine PS for their letters and best wishes.
Every pupil is also coming home with a free memorial book to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee. Happy reading!
Catrine Primary School is experiencing some technical issues with the lunch ordering system on Parent Pay. Apologies for any inconvenience. Any problems please contact the school. Thank you
For all Primary 1, 2 and 3 children
We are delighted that the Hopscotch Theatre Company will be visiting us on Thursday 15th September, for an afternoon show of their play Plop! In the Ocean.
Plop! In the Ocean’, is an eco-fable written by bard of Glastonbury and Roald Dahl Foundation storyteller in residence, Sarah Mooney, taking the form of a slapstick ancient Greek comedy. ‘Plop!’ was written using Sarah’s diaries and experiences during an expedition sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with a team of ten female scientists studying plastic pollution and ocean toxicity. ‘Plop!’ focuses on ways to communicate with and educate young people about the impact ocean toxicity is having on our planet. How they can begin with small steps to understand the problem, in a sensitive way for their age group, and what changes they can make in their own day to day lives to foster positive sustainability in the future. It also promotes positive representation in areas such as STEM.
We are looking forward to having our first whole school Outdoor learning Day on Wednesday 14th September.
All classes will be split into their House groups for the morning, and will take part in a wide range of activities.
Pupils should come to school wearing appropriate footwear (wellies/old trainers), jacket and trousers to ensure they can take a full part in the learning tasks.
Pupils should still wear school uniform on top and can bring a change of trousers and shoes, if they wish.
We will be posting lots of photos on Glow to show what we have been learning. Fingers crossed for a dry day.
An email has been sent via Parent Pay with links attached for completion.
Please complete as soon as possible.
These links can also be found under the information section of the School App.
If you require any help with this, please contact the school office.
Thank you
