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

ROYAL DOH 

A company by Bette, Jacob and Caleb D   

We had an idea… 

 and made it come true… 

With… 

 ROYAL DOH, the finest doh in all of Catrine, coming in colours of red, blue and green with glitter and amazing vanilla scent.   

So, if you like shiny things (glitter), amazing smells (scented) and doughy things (ROYAL DOH!) 

Please consider buying from us.

Order now – only £1.  Orders will be given out next week.

We enjoyed a wonderful FUN 31 in the lovely sunny but chilly afternoon today, playing with our new outdoor play equipment.  The new tyres, steering wheels, planks and rollers were well tested out by our pupils.  A great way to kickstart the weekend! 🙂

East Ayrshire Recycling – visit to Catrine Primary School

On Wednesday we had 2 people from East Ayrshire Recycling come in to the school to talk about recycling and how we can improve on helping to recycle more.

Brian and Jordan were our 2 community waste officers who came in to the school. Jordan talked to primary 5, 6 and 7 about everything that we can do to help improve recycling:

• what goes in which box of the recycling trolley
• what vehicle collects the waste and much more

We have the Romaquip Recycling Vehicle that collects our recycling and food waste:

• the 1^st compartment is for plastic and cans
• the 2^nd is for mixed paper and card
• the 3^rd is for food waste
• the 4^th is for glass 1
• the 5^th is for coffee pods, electrical items, clothes and textiles
• the 6^th is for glass 2
• the 7^th is for paper and cardboard

We learned about food waste and what you can and can’t put in your caddy…

You can put in dry food, out of date stuff, eggshells, bones, tea bags and coffee grounds.

You can’t put in liquids, bags or pet waste.

We also learned about the bio capital in Cumbernauld, which is where all the food waste gets processed.  Did you know that 60 to 200,000 kgs of food waste gets processed every week?

There is also a food waste sniff test. We learned what goes in which parts of the recycling trolleys that we use at home:

• paper and cardboard – blue box
• plastic and cans – red box
• mixed glass – grey box

We can also sit out small electrical items (WEEE) which stands for Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment.

Fun facts… did you know that 1 x full food caddy can make 8 slices of toast and 2 x full food caddies can power a cinema for a whole movie! Also, 1 x recycled aluminium can can power your TV for 3 hours!

We learned a lot during this visit and we would like to thank Jordan and Brian for coming to our school.
