BIG excitement at Catrine PS today as our new play barrels were placed in our playground for use by all pupils.
Pupils from P3-P7 were involved in choosing the area of our playground where our new equipment was to be placed, and they enjoyed being the first pupils to have a go!
Thanks to Mrs Schendel and Mrs Robertson for sourcing these ‘barrels of fun!’

Although we didn’t win the tournament, Miss Burleigh said the team represented their school and community very well, showing great sportsmanship and teamwork.
We are very proud of them all!

School Meals
Just a reminder that from today we have moved to the new ordering system for school meals via Parentpay.
How does this affect you ordering for your child? You have to select a main meal and a dessert.
Please note that you can now order soup for your child, but you will be prompted to order a main meal too.
Any meals ordered in advance prior to today will need to be reordered.
If your child has a school meal, please ensure you book before 8am on the day.
Thank you
Primary 7 helped to plan some World Book Day activities across the school. They spent the morning down in P1 reading to the wee ones and they took small groups of P1 and P2 children up to the library to introduce them to some new story sacks. Mrs Robertson has made up these sacks which include a traditional tales story as well as finger puppets or stick puppets to help retell the story.
The P7s also delivered the World Book Day books to each class so that every pupil in the school could take home their very own Book. We would like to say a huge thank to Mrs Robertson who trailed around the shops collecting all the books for us!

In our Home Circles on Tuesday we focused on Article 29 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Article 29 states that ‘a child or young person’s education should help their mind, body and talents be the best they can. It should also build their respect for other people and the world around them. ‘
The BIG questions our pupils answered were …
As always, our wonderful Home Circles came up with some insightful and thoughtful answers. Read them below …
