Sports Day – Tuesday 18th June

We’re good to go for our rescheduled Sports Day tomorrow!

Races will kick off at 10.30am at Riverside Park, Catrine.

Pupils should come to school wearing a tshirt/top in their house colour, if possible, leggings/trackies and trainers, and a jacket.

All pupils will be given a bottle of water at the park thanks to Catrine Amateurs FC.

See you there!

 

SPORTS DAY RESCHEDULED

Sports Day Update – The weather isn’t looking too promising for tomorrow so we’re making the decision to cancel our Sports Day scheduled for Friday 14th June, and we’re rescheduling for TUESDAY 18th JUNE instead, at 10.30am at Riverside Park.

Next Tuesday looks to be the driest day forecast for next week but if it’s still wet on Tuesday, however, we’ll have to run our races in the school hall but unfortunately that means we can’t have spectators.

We can organise everything but the weather so fingers crossed for a dry day on Tuesday!

Please note that your child can still wear sports clothes tomorrow, and if they have a Scotland football top, they can wear this to show their support before Friday’s big game. No club colours please.

June Home Circles @ 12.06.24

In our Home Circles on Wednesday we all focused on another article from the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.

Article 29 states that ‘education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment’. 

In our Home Circles we had big questions to answer … 

It’s Health Week at Catrine Primary School and ECC.

What changes would make Catrine PS a healthier school?

What changes would make Catrine a healthier village? 

Take a look at our answers below.

On Wednesday it is Wheelie Wednesday so you ride a scooter or a bike to school.

On Thursday it is Think Three Thursday (stop, look & listen)

On Friday it is Friendly Friday so think about others and walk to school with a friend.

Visit to Daldorch House

This morning 9 of our pupils ,along with Mrs Goudie, walked to Daldorch House to help with an exciting project!

Daldorch have been gifted plants from the Chelsea flower show and Jim Lochrie asked some of our pupils to come and help them plant these in Daldorch gardens.

Mrs Goudie selected pupils who are a great help in our own school and who always contribute enthusiastically to gardening activities, generally keeping our own school grounds looking lovely.

The pupils were a credit to our school and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Daldorch where they planted at least four plants each.  The pupils then also had a chance to have a look around Daldorch.

We would like to thank Jim and Paddy for making our pupils feel so welcome and for the amazing goody bag that they all took home.
