We will be celebrating Hallowe’en on Thursday 31st October at the school.
Pupils can either come to school in a Hallowe’en costume or dressed in casual clothes like a Dress Down Day.
Please ensure that their Hallowe’en costume is suitable for playing outside during interval and lunch, and that they can take it on and off by themselves when using the toilet.
If you wish your child to go home at lunchtime to change, please inform the school of this arrangement.
Please note – no huge accessories (swords etc) or scary masks.
Our pupils will be taking part in Hallowe’en activities throughout the day and will be having a party in their class in the afternoon.
We’re looking forward to a spooky and fun-filled day!

Well done to our Ruby Reward winners this week for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
Thanks to Jack Gillies for completing the Kilt Walk back in May on behalf of the Catrine Games Hall Trust and raising over £3000 for use by the school, which included a large donation from Alan Thomas of Shire Housing.
We have a brand new defibrillator installed at our school kitchen door for use by the community and we have plans for St John’s Ambulance staff to come to the school and train staff, pupils and community members in the safe use of the defibrillator.
The remainder of the money that Jack raised – the wonderful sum of £2272 – will be used to purchase resources to support the teaching of the wider curriculum in our school, such as cooking and baking equipment, specialist art equipment for screen printing and outdoor learning resources.
Thanks also to Mrs Robertson in our office for organising to have the defibrillator installed, with Magnus Electrical Services installing it free of charge as part of their community payback scheme.
Please note that the Defibrillator is only accessible during Term Time.
