Catrine Show Art Winners
Well done to Ethan in P2 and Lucie in P6 who were both awarded Second Place in their age categories at Saturday’s Catrine Show Art Competition. They each received a bag of goodies from the Cattle Show organisers.
Look out for our artwork in the chemist window and in the Cotton Trail – they love displaying our wonderful artwork!
Well done, Lucie (Ethan is off school ill 🙁 )
P7 Photos
I’m not quite sure how – but we are now well into the last term of P7. This is another busy term, so I thought we would get started with the bits and pieces that will be needed for the end of the session.
We are looking for a baby photo of every pupil in the class as well as two present day pictures or selfies. Please email them to me at fiona.mccaig2@eastayrshire.org.uk
We can’t wait to see them all.
Mrs McCaig
Can you help us?
Do you have a yoga mat at home that you do not use?
If so, we would be delighted if you would donate them to the school.
Either send your child along with it or hand in to the office.
Thank you

Home Circles @ April 2025
This week in our Home Circles we were learning about Article 17 of the UNCRC which states that ‘ children and young people should be able to access information, particularly from the media. They should be able to get information from many places, from their country and beyond’. This statement prompted a brilliant discussion about what social media is.
The BIG questions were –
What is social media and how do we use it in school and at home?
Why are there concerns about children using social media apps?
P7 to S1 Transition
