Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
In our December Home Circles we highlighted Article 17 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that every child has the right to reliable information from a range of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
Our questions were –
How do you find out what is happening in your community and in the world? What kinds of social media do you use?
Why is it important that there are rules about using social media sites?
Take a look through our answers in our Home Circle jotters …
Our doors will open at 6.00pm this evening for our Christmas Fayre.
Everyone welcome, we hope you can join us.

Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
This week we had a discussion about what Catrine Primary has and does to make us an inclusive school.
The boy and girls brain stormed some ideas that they could think of and we added to these through a whole group discussion.
We then went on to create posters in our small groups which will be displayed on our wall. The members of the committee have requested that we make a power point to present at assembly.
At our last committee group we were learning all about Article 27. Article 27 is about having the right to a proper house, food and clothing.
We then looked at our needs and our wants. We discussed and designed two houses, one to show the things that we need such as electricity, water, a safe house with a roof, a bed, clothes, toilet, something to make food on and someone to help look after us.
After that we designed our second house and this had the different things that we might want in our house but aren’t essential. This included things like a tv, Switch, toys, a pool, dog, flowers, Netflix and PS5.
Our STEM committee have been hard at work trying to promote STEM learning across the whole school.
This week our STEM committee were able to think like engineers and built Mr Wonka’s factory.
The pupils were able to evaluate their designs and discuss their strengths and areas for improvement.
Thank you Maureen and Dino, we appreciate your kind donation to the pupils and staff at Catrine Primary School.
Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
Jingles & Holly the Elves need your help!
These twins can’t remember their birthday! Can you help them find their birthday?
Parentpay is now open to purchase dates to win these adorable knitted elves.
The winning birthday date will be revealed on Thursday 14th December at the School Christmas Fayre.
Good Luck
Make Catrine Sparkle – Sunday 3rd December
Just a reminder that this Sunday the above event will be taking place.
Lanterns can be collected from Lodge St John from 4.00pm, with the parade starting from the top shops at 5.00pm.
Catrine PS pupils have been learning some Christmas songs in school, and we will be having a community singalong in the Square when the parade is finished (aiming for a 5.45pm start). Any pupils, family and friends who would like to join us in a wee Christmas singalong should meet us in the Square from 5.30pm.
Remember to wrap up warmly on Sunday – the forecast is for a very cold and frosty evening.
The reading leadership group had fun making badges this afternoon. We drew pictures of our favourite book characters and used slogans to encourage others to read.
Hi a wee reminder that our school street is open on Saturdays and Sundays all day.
On Monday to Friday it is not open in these times 8:45am to 9:30am and 2:30pm to 3:20pm.
Please keep your cars out of our school street and keep our pupils safe!
