Catrine Primary School is experiencing some technical issues with the  lunch ordering system on Parent Pay.  Apologies for any inconvenience.  Any problems please contact the school.  Thank you

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.

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.

An email has been sent via Parent Pay with links attached for completion.
Please complete as soon as possible.
These links can also be found under the information section of the School App.
If you require any help with this, please contact the school office.
Thank you

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 .
