Well done to this week’s Ruby Reward Table Winners




Thanks again to Louise and Tesco Auchinleck for supporting Catrine Primary School with their learning.
We have 8 sessions of Discovery Dens that are held throughout our school year, and each session allows the pupils to explore and learn new skills.
The donation from Tesco has helped us set up a Fruit Cups session, which allows each pupil to try new fruits and make up fruit cups of their choice.
Thank you again Tesco for helping our pupils.

In our Home Circles we focused on Article 12 of the UNCRC which states that ‘children have the right to express their views freely on all matters affecting them, and that their views and opinions should be listened to and taken seriously’.
Our BIG 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 is it important that your voice is heard?
Check out our awesome answers below …
We are very proud of Brody in Primary 7 who has been selected for the EAC Primary School District Football team for session 2025/26.
Brody participated in a tough trial process over the last few weeks and we’re delighted that he’s going to represent Catrine PS this year. The District team play games against teams from all over Scotland and we look forward to hearing how they get on.
To allow the kitchen to prepare enough meals, please select your child’s Christmas Dinner choice, please still book this out on PARENTPAY. Please note the meal is available as dairy free and halal.

A huge thank you for all the wonderful donations of pre-loved toys and games. P7 have been working hard behind the scenes, ensuring everything is in working order and ready to make its way to its new home.
The ‘Revive and Thrive’ sale will be open to pupils on Wednesday 26th November. Each class will have an allocated time slot to visit the toy sale and purchase pocket money toys. A maximum of £3 can be sent with each child. Can we ask that pupils bring loose change (no notes) and a carrier bag, to make sure their purchase makes it home in one piece.
We have some incredible treats on offer including board games, cars, army toys, books, dolls and accessories, fidgets, lorries, dinosaurs – the list goes on.
Just a wee reminder if you have any items at home that would be suitable for the school fayre tombola, please hand them into the school before Friday 28th November.
We all have a cupboard with items that we buy for presents and never use or have unwanted gifts. Your support is appreciated.
