East Ayrshire’s Children and Young People’s Climate Conference 2024

We were delighted to be invited to this year’s Climate Conference to share all of the amazing work the school has done around the natural environment. Lucy and Ellie represented Catrine and presented to schools from across the authority, elected members and the Head of Education. They delivered a fantastic presentation that showcased all of the work done in relation to The Clean Green Award and The John Muir Award. A huge well done to the girls, as well as every other pupil and the wider parent/carer community who helped make our days a huge success.

WINNER WINNER WINNER

Arty Antonia in P5/6 bagged herself a huge chocolate hamper after winning a competition.  Antonia won first place in the ‘Lost Elf’ poster competition run by Shimmer and Shine home furnishings shop in Cumnock.  She had to help some elves find their buddy who was last seen in the Rudolph Forest.   Antonia’s colourful poster was picked from more than 50 entries as the winner. Kacey in P2 also created a show-stopping design and was lucky enough to earn third place.

Well done Antonia and Kacey.

P5/6 off to a flying start

What a great start we have had to term one in P5/6. The children have settled in well and are already showing off their talents and skills just two weeks in.

We have developed our Class Charter and explored the UNCRC and highlighted the rights that are important to us in school.  In Maths we started our Number Talks strategies as well as taking part in lots of new interactive number games online. Our class novel, Matilda, is well underway and we have started our Interdisciplinary Learning topic, Victorians.

Our walls are looking bright and welcoming and jam-packed with our learning already. Take a look at the photos of our Charter, our Queen Victorian portraits and the maths working wall.
