In our December Home Circles we highlighted Article 17 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that every child has the right to reliable information from a range of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
Our questions were –
How do you find out what is happening in your community and in the world? What kinds of social media do you use?
Why is it important that there are rules about using social media sites?
Take a look through our answers in our Home Circle jotters …
Just a reminder that next week will be the Christmas Parties.
Monday 18th December – P3, P4 & P5
Tuesday 19th December – P6 & P7
Wednesday 20th December – P1 & P2
Pupils can come to school dressed in their party clothes, or bring them in a bag to change into before the party. Please note that if they come dressed in party clothes, they will be out at playtime and will require a Jacket.
If you wish your child to go home and change, please send in a note that they will be a home lunch. PLEASE NOTE THAT PUPILS IN P1 & P2 WILL NEED TO BE COLLECTED.
This week we had a discussion about what Catrine Primary has and does to make us an inclusive school.
The boy and girls brain stormed some ideas that they could think of and we added to these through a whole group discussion.
We then went on to create posters in our small groups which will be displayed on our wall. The members of the committee have requested that we make a power point to present at assembly.
At our last committee group we were learning all about Article 27. Article 27 is about having the right to a proper house, food and clothing.
We then looked at our needs and our wants. We discussed and designed two houses, one to show the things that we need such as electricity, water, a safe house with a roof, a bed, clothes, toilet, something to make food on and someone to help look after us.
After that we designed our second house and this had the different things that we might want in our house but aren’t essential. This included things like a tv, Switch, toys, a pool, dog, flowers, Netflix and PS5.
Just a reminder that this Sunday the above event will be taking place.
Lanterns can be collected from Lodge St John from 4.00pm, with the parade starting from the top shops at 5.00pm.
Catrine PS pupils have been learning some Christmas songs in school, and we will be having a community singalong in the Square when the parade is finished (aiming for a 5.45pm start). Any pupils, family and friends who would like to join us in a wee Christmas singalong should meet us in the Square from 5.30pm.
Remember to wrap up warmly on Sunday – the forecast is for a very cold and frosty evening.
The reading leadership group had fun making badges this afternoon. We drew pictures of our favourite book characters and used slogans to encourage others to read.
All of our pupils were involved in making lanterns for the Make Catrine Sparkle parade which is taking place this Sunday, 3rd December.
