PE Timetable and Information

PE Times

PE timetable (4)

Every week each class is timetabled for two PE sessions.  Sometimes, if the weather permits, one of these sessions may be a walk around the village instead of indoor PE.

For indoor PE sessions, our pupils need to have a pair of shorts and a pair of trainers/gym shoes, that they can keep in school so that they’re always prepared for PE sessions.  Please ensure all items are labelled with your child’s name.

Pupils also need to remove all jewellery before taking part in PE so please ensure earrings are removed, or that your child can remove their own earrings on PE days.  It’s also preferable if long hair is tied back.

Thanks for your support with ensuring our pupils make the most of their timetabled PE sessions at school.

Superstars

What a great first day back at school we had today, in the lovely sunshine too!

Well done to our P2 to P7 pupils – they settled into their new classes so quickly and got straight to work.

Our new Primary 1 pupils had an excellent start to their time in primary school – we are so proud of them all and look forward to welcoming them back tomorrow at 9.30am.

We’ve got a brilliant year ahead at Catrine PS 🙂

P1 Reminder for Wednesday

Just a wee reminder for our new P1 starts on Wednesday 20th August.

We will open the doors at 9.30am at the infant playground. Can we ask that only parents enter the playground with their child please?

A photo opportunity will be available for all pupils.

For pupils taking a school dinner, they will be asked over the next three days what they would like to eat.

The ParentPay system will generate a code for you to sign in and hopefully will be available by the end of the day on Friday.

On Wednesday, the school day will finish at 2.30pm for P1. Please enter the playground to collect your child.

Any questions please contact the school and we look forward to your child starting in Primary 1. Thank you.

We are delighted to announce that Mrs Mair will be continuing in her role as Primary 2 teacher until Mrs Campbell returns from her maternity leave.

Mrs Mair has had a chance to meet with our current P1 pupils and she is excited to welcome them into P2 in August.

Catrine’s Got Talent

Congratulations to Emily in P2 who was the winner of our annual Catrine’s Got Talent competition.

Emily serenaded us all with a beautiful rendition of Count on Me by Bruno Mars.

The judges; Mrs Watt, Ellie, Caleb C and Daryl H, had such a hard time choosing the winner because the talent on display from all the entrants was absolutely amazing! We had dancers, gymnasts, footballers, artists and singers.  Well done to all the children who entered and a HUGE thank you to the Primary 7s who organised it all.
