P7 have made up a Chocolate Hamper, and are selling entries for £1.00, which can be purchased via ParentPay.
Tickets can be purchased from 23.01.24 until 07.02.24, and will be drawn on Thursday 8th February.
All money raised will go towards their Leavers Hoodies.
Thank you for your support.
Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
At the beginning of this session, after consultation with pupils, staff, parents and carers, we updated our school and ECC values.
We now have our CATRINE Values –
C – Community
A – Achievement
T – Teamwork
R – Respect
I – Inclusion
N – Nurture
E – Excellence
We’re asking for your help in designing a logo which contains the words CATRINE Values and what each letter stands for. The winning design will be made into a poster by the EAC Print Room and will be displayed around the school and incorporated into our school stationery.
We are NOT replacing our school badge – the lovely image of the Catrine Wheel will still be on our school jumpers and polo shirts; we are looking for a design for our CATRINE Values.
Logo entries are welcomed from creative folk of all ages – you can either hand in entries on paper to the main office or take photos of your design and email them to judith.govans@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.
The finished poster will be A4 size so we’re looking for a bright, colourful and clear poster which makes our CATRINE Values very easy to read and understand.
Thanks in advance for your help – I can’t wait to see your wonderful entries. All entries to be in by Friday 26th January please. Please contact the school for further information. Mrs Govans
We will be ordering the P7 Leavers Hoodies by the end of January. On the back of the Hoodie, the 24 will be filled with your child’s first name. Please complete the form to give consent. Thank you

Not essential, but if you wish, wear some tartan, and wear your dancing shoes.
Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
Our final day at Dolphin House has been busy too. We had to strip our beds and pack our cases before our final dorm inspection. Well done to Georgia, Millie and Layla who gained the most points over the week for the tidiest dorm.
We completed an orienteering course this morning before doing a treasure hunt around Culzean park then ended our week roasting marshmallows around the campfire.
What a fantastic week where we have challenged ourselves to try new activities, tried new foods, worked as a team, developed our independence, persevered when things got hard, followed instructions and spent a whole week with no electronics! We even managed to squeeze in a game of tig while waiting for the bus.
Term 3 Diary Dates
What a busy day we have had today.
After breakfast we went abseiling & to try archery. 🧗🏽♀️🏹 Then we went to explore the castle caves and did some rockpooling on the way back.
We had a fabulous disco with the wonderful Captain Calvin to round off our last night here at Dolphin House.

Check out a few more of our pictures from yesterday.
Some people appear more than once in the same photo. How many times can you spot your child in the one photograph?
The teachers woke us up this morning with some ok music.
We had half an hour to get ready and down for breakfast at 8.30am. We enjoyed some porridge, cereal and fruit. After that we had our first dorm inspection.
Then we got ready to go our Hillwalk. Almost everyone fell asleep on the bus heading TO Loch Doon – before we even climbed the hill! We got to Loch Doon and we climbed Knocknearie Hill, walked along Ness Glen and visited Dalcairney Falls.
We had macaroni and garlic bread for dinner followed by apple crumble and custard. Some people had some fruit too.
Tonight we learned a bit more about John Muir and enjoyed a fun games night.

We are delighted to share the lovely news that Miss McLean is the proud mum to a beautiful baby girl called Ellis.
Ellis arrived safely on Saturday 30th December, weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and both mum and baby are doing well. Ellis is just perfect x
We are also glad to welcome Miss Paton into P4/5 for the rest of the session as she is covering Miss McLean’s maternity leave.
Welcome to #Team Catrine, Miss Paton 🙂
In our January Home Circles we highlighted Article 32 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that children and young people should not be able to work until they reach a certain age. In Scotland, children are not allowed to do almost any kind of work until they are 13, and rules about the work that children can do remain in place until the age of 18.
Our questions were –
Why do you think there are rules in place about children working?
Why do you think these rules need to be there?
Take a look through our answers in our Home Circle jotters …
What a busy first day we have had! It’s been a beautiful but chilly day but that hasn’t stopped us enjoying the outdoors. Team games, exploring Culzean, making up our beds, trying new food, playing in the park then back to the park for hide and seek under the stars ✨.
Date for your diary – Tuesday 20th February.
We have arranged for another Rag Bag collection to take place at Catrine PS.
