Next Friday pupils can come to school wearing bright clothes or with something bright in their hair, on their jacket or on their bag. Or pupils can just dress down.
The junior road safety officers will organise some activities for everyone.

On Tuesday 15th November Alana and Lesleyanne had the privilege of attending the CYPIC conference in Glasgow SEC where a video clip was presented showcasing Catrine ECC and our fabulously famous children 🙂
Scottish Government asked the ECC to discuss some of the changes they have made so far whilst on their journey to becoming a Communication Friendly Environment with the collection of data and quality improvement methods in mind.
Below you can find the link to the video clip where you might see some familiar faces (Riccarton ECC appear first in the clip with Catrine following on a few minutes later)

It was lovely to see so many of you at the Maths Family After School club on Tuesday. We were so busy we forgot to take photos! We took some time to work on our scrapbooks together and then some of our amazing pupils demonstrated a few of the addition methods we use in school.
Following a request, we will look at multiplication and the resources and methods we use in school at the next session.
Please remember these are drop in sessions so if you didn’t manage along last week you are very welcome to join us on Tuesday 8th November at 3pm.
All pupils must be accompanied by an adult. Please collect your child as normal after school and then come to the main doors.
