Family Ceilidh – Tuesday 7th February

As part of our whole school Scotland topic we are holding a family Ceilidh in the school hall on Tuesday 7th February at 6.30pm to 8.00pm.

We are delighted to have a live band who will guide us through all the dances and keep us entertained.

This event is free and light refreshments will be provided.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. To give us an idea of numbers, please complete the form below.

Not essential, but if you wish, wear some tartan, and wear your dancing shoes.

Christmas Thanks for #Team Catrine

As we close today at 2.30pm for our Christmas holidays, it’s time for some big Thank You messages!

Thank you … to our Cleaning and Janitorial Teams of Helen, Janette and Stuart,  for making sure our classrooms and learning areas are always clean, warm, safe and ready for us to use.  Special thanks to our jannie, Mr McCreath, for also being our Lollipop Man this term and getting our pupils safely to and from school.

Thank you … to our Catering Team of Shelagh, Helen, Pauline and Tracey for our delicious school lunches.

Thank you … to our Senior Clerical Assistant, Mrs Robertson, for getting us organised, stocked up and kept up to date.  Our school office is a very busy place and she keeps us all running like clockwork!

Thank you… to our Classroom Assistants – Mrs Watt, Mrs Goudie and Miss Brown – for their professional and enthusiastic attitude towards the million different tasks they are asked to do on a weekly basis!  Their support of our pupils is just wonderful.

Thank you … to our class teachers – Mrs Cook and Mrs Ferguson, Mrs McKenna and Miss Norman, Miss McLean and Mrs McCaig, Miss Murdoch and Miss Burleigh – for their creative, interesting and challenging teaching and learning approaches as they continually strive for the best for our pupils.

Thank you… to our Depute Headteacher, Mrs Schendel, for, amongst her very varied responsibilities, ensuring that every child receives the quality learning support that they deserve to help them achieve their potential.

Thank you … to all of the staff at Catrine ECC for sharing their wonderfully creative, inventive and fun learning and teaching approaches with us during their time at the PS.  We will miss the ECC staff and children when they return to Newton Street, and we can’t wait to visit them in their gorgeously refurbished nursery.  Special thanks to our Depute Manager, Alana, for her enthusiasm and innovation – and crazy costumes!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.  Looking forward to seeing our pupils return on Monday 9th January at 9.00am.   Take care, Mrs Govans x
