We are delighted that Catrine Primary School have been awarded £1000 from Tesco Stronger Starts Grant.

Louise and Eileen from Tesco Auchinleck came along today to present the pupils at Catrine PS with their cheque.

The money will be used to create a garden to grow vegetables and for loose parts for the playground.

Thank you to everyone that supported us and dropped the blue counters into our box.

Loads of events happening at the A.M Brown Institute

Our whole school summer trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park will be on Wednesday 25th June.

Thank you to everyone that has handed in their child’s permission form and payment.

Again thank you to the Parent Council making a donation towards the cost of the trip.

Parentpay is open for payments, if you are having problems with Parentpay please contact the school.

As we will be away for the full school day, we need to make plans for how many pupils will require a school meal/packed lunch on this day.

Your child will come home today with information about the P7 Transition Evening on 26^th May.

We hope you can attend.

As the lovely weather continues, we would like to remind everyone of the sun safe message.

Can we ask that you apply sunscreen prior to your child attending school?

Please do not send sunscreen into school.

Your child can wear a sunhat, if they wish, and can bring a bottle of water to have in class.

Thank you.

Well done to Ethan in P2 and Lucie in P6 who were both awarded Second Place in their age categories at Saturday’s Catrine Show Art Competition.  They each received a bag of goodies from the Cattle Show organisers.

Look out for our artwork in the chemist window and in the Cotton Trail – they love displaying our wonderful artwork!

Well done, Lucie (Ethan is off school ill 🙁 )

I’m not quite sure how – but we are now well into the last term of P7.  This is another busy term, so I thought we would get started with the bits and pieces that will be needed for the end of the session.

We are looking for a baby photo of every pupil in the class as well as two present day pictures or selfies. Please email them to me at fiona.mccaig2@eastayrshire.org.uk

We can’t wait to see them all.

Mrs McCaig

Do you have a yoga mat at home that you do not use?

If so, we would be delighted if you would donate them to the school.

Either send your child along with it or hand in to the office.

Thank you

Have a lovely long weekend.

With the lovely weather hopefully continuing,  can we ask that you apply suntan lotion prior to your child attending school?

This week in our Home Circles we were learning about Article 17 of the UNCRC which states that ‘ children and young people should be able to access information, particularly from the media.  They should be able to get information from many places, from their country and beyond’.  This statement prompted a brilliant discussion about what social media is.

The BIG questions were –

What is social media and how do we use it in school and at home?

Why are there concerns about children using social media apps?
