If you are clearing out old summer clothes, why not put them in a black bag and bring along to our Rag Bag collection on the above date?

More details to follow on what can go in the bags. All money raised from the collection goes back to the pupils.

Just a polite reminder that Catrine Primary School is a

Please ensure that no snacks/lunch food brought into the school contains NUTS.

We have children in the school that have a NUT allergy, which can be life threatening to them.

Thank you for your cooperation with this.

• And we’re back! We’ve had a lovely, settled start to our new term with our pupils all looking very smart in their Catrine PS uniform.
• A special Well Done to our new Primary 1 pupils who have settled in so quickly. P1 pupils are in from 9.30am to 2.30pm today and tomorrow, and will be in full time from Wednesday 23^rd
• Our playgrounds are supervised from 8.45am every morning.
• Most pupils have brought in their PE bag, which can be left in school, and should contain their PE kit of plain shorts and appropriate gym shoes. No football colours or logos please. Your child’s PE timetable will be put on their class blog over the next couple of days.
• PLEASE remember to label all of your child’s belongings – our Lost Property basket is always overflowing with unclaimed jumpers and cardigans!
• Remember to order your child’s lunch via Parentpay for each school week to ensure they get their first choice at lunchtime. It would be great if you could order with your child so they know what they are getting for lunch each day.
• Pupils are encouraged to drink water throughout the school day, so bottles of water (not juice or fizzy drinks please) are allowed in our classes. Please label your child’s bottle.
• Please also be reminded that the streets around Catrine PS are ‘School Streets’ and that parents/carers should not be using them at drop off and pick up times for the safety of all of our pupils and wider community. We would appreciate your continued support and observance of this legal requirement.
• We’re looking forward to welcoming our parents/carers and families into our school to share the wonderful learning and teaching that’s taking place at Catrine PS so look out for dates of Open Mornings and family events.

On return to school next week our pupils will have PE twice a week.

All children should bring along a PE kit, containing shorts and gym shoes. These can be kept in a kit bag, which can be kept in school. Please ensure their name is on all items.

We kindly ask that no platform or chunky soled trainers are used for PE. Any earrings should be removed before school or taken out before the PE class starts.

The PE timetable will be issued next week.

As we close today for the summer holidays, there’s some special people who deserve a big THANK YOU!

Thank you to … the parents, family and friends of our  Catrine PS pupils for your constant support of everything we do.  It makes a huge difference to know we have your backing in our efforts to continuously improve the learning and teaching experiences for your children.

Thank you to … the Parent Council for giving up their own time to arrange wonderful events for our pupils, and for their advice and support in moving our school forward

Thank you to … #Team Catrine staff – our teachers, Classroom Assistants, Senior Clerical, Catering and Cleaning staff – who all work so hard to ensure Catrine PS is a supportive, nurturing, clean, safe and wonderful learning environment.  It’s truly a team effort to keep a school continuously improving and every member of staff is a vital part of our collective school group.

Thank you to … our Catrine PS pupils.  From Primary 1 to Primary 7, our pupils motivate us every day.  They are kind, smart, funny, loud, creative, clever, hardworking, noisy, friendly, messy, inventive, cheeky – all the things that happy children should be and we think the world of them.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer break.  Good luck to our P7 Leavers – reach for the stars as you start your RBA journey.

We look forward to welcoming everyone, especially our new Primary 1 pupils, on Monday 21st August.

Take care. Mrs Govans x
