What a lovely afternoon some of us had the Over 50 club.  We sang Christmas songs and got everyone into the Christmas spirit. We then chatted with the ladies and gentlemen and coloured some pictures and completed crossword puzzles together.

We think everyone enjoyed our visit and we certainly had lots of fun!

The Catrine PS raffle is now live on Parentpay.

Tickets are £1.00 each and will be available to purchase up to Friday 13th December.

Good Luck

Catrine ECC’s Depute Manager, Alana Speirs, delivered a wonderful presentation today to an audience of over 90 EAC colleagues, including Headteachers and Heads of ECC from across the authority, the Senior Education Managers and the Head of Education at the Council Chambers in London Road in Kilmarnock.

She was highlighting the educational journey of the ECC which led to them earning national recognition – Scotland’s first Digital Learning ECC accreditation.

Alana detailed the structured programme led by Sherrie Devlin, ELCP, and talked about the drive, professionalism and commitment of all ECC staff members in working towards this whole ECC accreditation.

Alana and Sherrie are now working alongside Education Scotland colleagues to review the Digital Literacy programme of learning to ensure that the Early Years curriculum is well-structured, challenging and innovative.              #TeamCatrine leading the way 🙂

(apologies for the poor photo quality – I was too busy beaming with pride to take better ones!)

This year Catrine Primary school have joined the Shoot to Saturn mission. This means we are completing active travel journeys in order to collect s-miles to power our rockets with enough energy to make it to Saturn.  Active Travel Journeys include walking, park and strides and using a bike or scooter to get from one place to another.

Primary 6 are this years active travel commanders. This means that we communicate with Mission Control to ensure we are on track with our journey. As active travel commanders, P6 set all pupils the challenge of designing their own rocket for our mission. Classes then exchanged rockets and voted on which rocket would represent each class.

Our winners were chosen today:

P1 – Miller

p2 – Ella

P3 – Lyle

P4 – Logan

P5 – Kacey

P6 – Poppy

P7 – Jacob

We cannot wait to continue this journey!

For a chance to win one of our festive hampers,

raffle tickets go on sale from Monday 2nd to Friday 13th December.

Tickets can be purchased via Parentpay.

Good Luck

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HAS BEEN CANCELLED
