We are delighted to share the lovely news that Miss McLean is the proud mum to a beautiful baby girl called Ellis.
Ellis arrived safely on Saturday 30th December, weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and both mum and baby are doing well. Ellis is just perfect x
We are also glad to welcome Miss Paton into P4/5 for the rest of the session as she is covering Miss McLean’s maternity leave.
Welcome to #Team Catrine, Miss Paton 🙂
In our January Home Circles we highlighted Article 32 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that children and young people should not be able to work until they reach a certain age. In Scotland, children are not allowed to do almost any kind of work until they are 13, and rules about the work that children can do remain in place until the age of 18.
Our questions were –
Why do you think there are rules in place about children working?
Why do you think these rules need to be there?
Take a look through our answers in our Home Circle jotters …
What a busy first day we have had! It’s been a beautiful but chilly day but that hasn’t stopped us enjoying the outdoors. Team games, exploring Culzean, making up our beds, trying new food, playing in the park then back to the park for hide and seek under the stars ✨.
Date for your diary – Tuesday 20th February.
We have arranged for another Rag Bag collection to take place at Catrine PS.
If you are clearing out old clothes, shoes etc place them in a black bin bag and bring along to the school.
We will start taking bags on Monday 19th February.

We are currently making plans for a future event that involves all the P5 pupils. To allow this to happen we require all of them to have a Kids Kard/ Bus Pass

Welcome back to the start of Term 3. We’re kicking off this very busy term by asking for your help.
At the beginning of this session, after consultation with pupils, staff, parents and carers, we updated our school and ECC values.
We now have our CATRINE Values –
C – Community
A – Achievement
T – Teamwork
R – Respect
I – Inclusion
N – Nurture
E – Excellence
We’re asking for your help in designing a logo which contains the words CATRINE Values and what each letter stands for. The winning design will be made into a poster by the EAC Print Room and will be displayed around the school and incorporated into our school stationery.
We are NOT replacing our school badge – the lovely image of the Catrine Wheel will still be on our school jumpers and polo shirts; we are looking for a design for our CATRINE Values.
Logo entries are welcomed from creative folk of all ages – you can either hand in entries on paper to the main office or take photos of your design and email them to judith.govans@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.
The finished poster will be A4 size so we’re looking for a bright, colourful and clear poster which makes our CATRINE Values very easy to read and understand.
Thanks in advance for your help – I can’t wait to see your wonderful entries. All entries to be in by Friday 26th January please. Please contact the school for further information. Mrs Govans
