Harvest Hush-In 2022

Harvest Service – Wednesday 12th October @ 9.15am

A warm welcome is extended to all family and friends to come and join us to celebrate our Harvest Thanksgiving next Wednesday 12th October. Please note we are not asking for food donations this year, thank you.

 

Catrine Primary School – Harvest Hush-In

To help raise money for school funds we are hosting a Sponsored Silence on Wednesday 12th October.

P1, P2 and P3 pupils will aim for 30 minutes silence, with P4 to P7 pupils trying to be quiet for 45 minutes!

The Harvest Hush-In will take place in class between 1.00pm and 2.00pm.  The pupils will read books and complete activities related to reading.  Each class has a class library so there is a wide range of books available.

All money raised will go towards transport costs for our whole school cinema trip in December – details to follow.

As we are a cashless school, donations for the Harvest Hush-In should be made on ParentPay – this means that we don’t need individual sponsor sheets. When you log into your ParentPay account, you will see a Harvest Hush-In notification – you can donate as much as you like (minimum donation of £1.00).  Please do not send cash into the school.

Please contact the school for any more information, thanks for your continued support and we hope you can join us at our Harvest Service next week.     Mrs Govans

Dress Down Day – Thursday 15th September 2022

Our P7 pupils are kickstarting their fundraising for their Leavers Hoodies by inviting all pupils to join them in a Dress Down Day next Thursday.

Pupils can donate £1 via Parent Pay and come to school wearing casual clothes ( no football colours please).

P7 have a few more fundraising events planned throughout the year, and they’d like to thank you for your support.

 

Plop! In the Ocean

For all Primary 1, 2 and 3 children 

We are delighted that the  Hopscotch Theatre Company will be visiting us on Thursday 15th September, for an afternoon show of their play Plop! In the Ocean.

Plop! In the Ocean’, is an eco-fable written by bard of Glastonbury and Roald Dahl Foundation storyteller in residence, Sarah Mooney, taking the form of a slapstick ancient Greek comedy. ‘Plop!’ was written using Sarah’s diaries and experiences during an expedition sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with a team of ten female scientists studying plastic pollution and ocean toxicity. ‘Plop!’ focuses on ways to communicate with and educate young people about the impact ocean toxicity is having on our planet. How they can begin with small steps to understand the problem, in a sensitive way for their age group, and what changes they can make in their own day to day lives to foster positive sustainability in the future. It also promotes positive representation in areas such as STEM.

Outdoor Learning Day #1 – 14/09/22

We are looking forward to having our first whole school Outdoor learning Day on Wednesday 14th September.

All classes will be split into their House groups for the morning, and will take part in a wide range of activities.

Pupils should come to school wearing appropriate footwear (wellies/old trainers), jacket and trousers to ensure they can take a full part in the learning tasks.

Pupils should still wear school uniform on top and  can bring a change of trousers and shoes, if they wish.

We will be posting lots of photos on Glow to show what we have been learning. Fingers crossed for a dry day.

 

 

 

 

School Streets Reminder

Unfortunately an increase in traffic around school at drop off and pick up times does not follow the School Streets plan.
This is just a reminder for parents and carers, when the restricted times are:
Drop off times – 8.30am till 9.30am. Pick up times 2.30pm till 3.30pm.
Please follow the School Streets plan, to allow for safer roads around our School and ECC.
Thank you for keeping our children safe .
