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.

Loads of events happening at the A.M Brown Institute

Our whole school summer trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park will be on Wednesday 25th June.

Thank you

Your child will come home today with information about the P7 Transition Evening on 26^th May.

We hope you can attend.

As the lovely weather continues, we would like to remind everyone of the sun safe message.

Can we ask that you apply sunscreen prior to your child attending school?

Please do not send sunscreen into school.

Your child can wear a sunhat, if they wish, and can bring a bottle of water to have in class.

Thank you.

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 🙁 )

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

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
