Well done to this week’s Ruby Reward winners for being excellent pupils in the dinner hall.

Monday 26th May

Please note that the school will be open on Monday.

Although it is a Bank Holiday, we unfortunately do not get this holiday.

Today in our Home Circles we focused on Article 15 of the UNCRC, which states that ‘children have the right to meet with friends and join groups’.

Our BIG questions were …

• Can you give some examples of when you meet with your friends and groups, both in school and outwith school?
• Why is it so important that children are allowed time to play and be with their friends?

Check out their excellent answers below!

P7 Business letter

On Friday 16th May, two Catrine brothers – Alfie in P6 and Jack in P5 – travelled to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow to deliver a presentation at the ASSIST Conference, on behalf of EAC.

Members of every Scottish local authority were present at the conference, which was focusing on how communities can tackle climate change and improve their local environment.

With Alfie being recognised as EAC’s Youth Climate Change Champion at an awards ceremony earlier this month, it was only right that he delivered EAC’s message (and he asked if his wee brother could help out too!)

We are so proud of how well both boys did – speaking confidently and clearly to a packed conference room and then answering questions.  What a credit they are to our school, our community and their family.  Well done!

We are delighted that Catrine Primary School have been awarded £1000 from Tesco Stronger Starts Grant.

Louise and Eileen from Tesco Auchinleck came along today to present the pupils at Catrine PS with their cheque.

The money will be used to create a garden to grow vegetables and for loose parts for the playground.

Thank you to everyone that supported us and dropped the blue counters into our box.
