Make Catrine Sparkle
Make Catrine Sparkle – Sunday 3rd December
All of our pupils were involved in making lanterns for the Make Catrine Sparkle parade which is taking place this Sunday, 3rd December.
Lanterns can be collected from the Lodge St John from 4.00pm, with the parade starting from the top shops at 5.00pm.
Catrine PS pupils have been learning some Christmas songs in school, and we will be having a community singalong in the Square when the parade is finished (aiming for a 5.45pm start). Any pupils, family and friends who would like to join us in a wee Christmas singalong should meet us in the Square from 5.30pm.
Remember to wrap up warmly on Sunday – the forecast is for a very cold and frosty night, just perfect for helping to
Make Catrine Sparkle! Thanks, Mrs Govans
JRSO – Be Bright, Be Seen Day
Our JRSO Committee Group organised a ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ dress down day today and loved seeing all the brightly coloured clothes that pupils came to school wearing. It is important to remember that cars can’t always see us crossing the road as it is now much darker in the mornings and at night.
Our P6/7 Committee Group members chose a winner from each class for the brightest outfit. The winners were:
P1: Jake
P2/3: Layla
P3/4: Oscar
P4/5: Tristan
P5/6: Ayden
P6/7: Millie
Well done everyone!

Homework Consultation
At our Parents Night in October, we asked parents/carers for their views on Homework – and the comments confirmed our thoughts that there is a very wide range of opinions on the benefits and necessity of homework coming home from school.
As a staff we value your input and will take all of your suggestions and comments into consideration as we continue to review our homework policy and provision. We will, as always, update you with any changes.
Please have a read through the collated comments, and thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts. Mrs Govans

Rights Respecting School @ September Home Circles
In our September Home Circles we highlighted Article 12 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously. This right applies at all times: during immigration proceedings, housing decisions or the child’s day to day home life.
Our questions were –
When is your opinion listened to in Catrine PS? When is your voice heard?
Why is it important that your opinion is listened to? Why should your voice be heard?
Have a read through our answers from our Home Circles jotters …
