A warm welcome to Miss Norman who will be joining us in August.
Miss Norman will be the P3/4 teacher for the year and we look forward to a busy year ahead.
It was lovely welcoming our P7 family and friends to our Prizegiving this morning, and great to be able to celebrate another successful year at Catrine PS.
Please click on the links below to see the lists of Class Prize Winners and Individual Prize Winners.
Ayrbank won the Sports Trophy and Whiteflat were the Winning House, so all Whiteflat pupils will be invited to a House Reward Party on the afternoon of Monday 27th June at the Games Hall – details to follow.
Well done to all of our Catrine PS pupils for a brilliant year
What a brilliant Sports Day we had this morning in the glorious sunshine!
Thanks to everyone who came along to support our wee superstars, and a special thanks to all family and friends who participated in our Parents Races.
Huge thanks to Robert MacKenzie for setting up Riverside Park for us, and to Catrine Amateurs Football Club for donating bottles of water for every pupil. Also to Karen, Ashley and Skye for being our line judges – not an easy job!
All of our pupils represented their classes and houses very well, and we’ll find out who our Sports Champions and Sports House Trophy winners are at Prizegiving on Thursday.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Mrs Govans

We are looking forward to seeing the new S1s next week and hope they are excited about their visit!
During the induction days teaching staff and senior pupils will be on hand to ensure that they are supervised and supported at all times.
They will need to bring with them next week:
Our school cafeteria has kindly agreed to provide a free school meal for any pupil who would like to sample what’s on offer, although you may wish to bring your own packed lunch. Please note that our new S1 will have a designated area to eat lunch as a year group and will not be allowed to leave this area at interval or lunch during their two day visit.
Kind regards

Due to the horrible weather, today’s Sports Day is CANCELLED.
We’re now having our school Sports Day on Monday 20th June at 10.30am at Riverside Park. Fingers crossed for a dry day!!
Thanks, Mrs Govans
We are still planning to go ahead with our Sports Day tomorrow at 10.30am at Riverside Park. However, the weather forecast is looking a bit dodgy so a final decision will be made TOMORROW AT 9.00AM. We will notify you via GLOW and APP if we are going for it or having to cancel our Sports Day due to wet weather.
If we have to cancel our Sports Day tomorrow, our reserve day is Monday 20th June at 10.30am at Riverside Park.
Fingers crossed for a dry day – we’re all organised but can’t control the weather!
Huge thanks to Talbot superstar, and former Catrine PS pupil, Craig McCracken for visiting the school and ECC today with the Scottish Junior Cup. Our pupils were delighted to pose for photos with the impressive silverware and had loads of questions for Craig.
Auchinleck lassies Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Watt were first in to get their hands on the trophy!
Thanks again, Craig – and well done on another victory!!
What a fantastic day we have had celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee!
We had our very own live band playing this morning while we were busy decorating placemats. A big thank you to members of the Sanquhar Silver band and friends for keeping us entertained. The ECC joined us in marching round the playground to show off our majestic crowns and to give some very royal waves. We then finished by standing and listening to the band play the National Anthem.
Our street party lunch was so much fun! We showed off our dance moves and ate delicious party food. A big thank you to our Catering Team once again for making our lunch so special.
Throughout the day the children took part in different activities. Make sure you have look on the class blogs to see what they got up to. We have just loved being able to mix classes again and see our older pupils supporting the younger ones.
A big thank you to all the staff who have worked hard to make the school look special and for organising such a fantastic day!
Have a great holiday weekend.
Mrs Schendel
Catrine PS Football Team recently took part in the EAC Small Schools Football Festival at the Robert Burns Academy pitches.
We played 3 matches – and won all three!! Thanks to all who came along to support the team – it was much appreciated.
Special thanks to former pupil Josh Suitters who has been coaching our team this term – he’s obviously doing a great job!
Well done to Calvin (C), Sonny, Declan, Keir, Robbie, Ryan, Bailey, Jayden, Finlay and Cooper for representing our school so well.
Thank you so much to our Catering Team for a fantastic Jubilee Lunch. The children said it was, “so yummy!”
Thank you also to Mrs Watt for our balloon decorations, our tables looked fit for royalty!
Please note that the after-school football training for P5, P6 and P7 pupils is CANCELLED on Tuesday 31st May as the school football team is taking part in the EAC Small Schools Football Festival at the Robert Burns Academy pitches.
Football training will still take place on Tuesdays 7th and 14th June from 3.00-4.15pm.
Thank you.
A reminder that Mrs Schendel, Miss Murdoch and Miss Burleigh will be in the playground from 2.45pm tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday 24th May, to chat about all things maths.
See previous post for details.
We look forward to seeing you then.

Our partnership with National Numeracy is coming to an end and I would like to say a huge thank you to all the families and pupils who engaged with the scrapbooks over the year.
I have been so proud to attend meetings with the organisers and other schools in East Ayrshire who have been taking part and to show off the fantastic work lots of you have been doing!
Due to the huge success we intend to continue with the scrapbooks next year and, fingers crossed, we may be able to get families together to share ideas and offer support.
National Numeracy would like your feedback and have asked that parents complete a short survey. You have a chance of being entered into their competition to win £50 worth of books and games.
Please click the link below and good luck!

Although some restrictions are beginning to ease we still really miss not being able to have our parents/carers in school to see all the fabulous learning that is taking place.
Mrs Schendel, Miss Murdoch and Miss Burleigh would love a blether with parents/carers of P5/6 and Primary 6/7 about all things maths and will be in the main playground on Tuesday 24th May at 2.45pm.
Please come along and ask any questions you may have in supporting your child with their maths homework or to ask about the maths work taking place in the classrooms.
We would appreciate that in line with our regulations that social distancing is maintained.
If you are unable to attend but have any maths related questions you would like to ask please e-mail me at:
roberta.schendel@eastayrshire.org.uk
We look forward to seeing you then.
It’s National Walk to School Week next week, beginning Monday 16th May. Our Junior Road Safety Officers in P4 have come up with a different theme for each day for our PS and ECC children – we look forward to seeing everyone taking part throughout the week.
We hope that you will take part in the Walk to School Week. If you come to the PS or ECC by car, why not Park & Stride?
This is a great time to remind everyone that the area around our ECC and PS is a School Streets area and is traffic controlled between 8.30-9.15am and 2.30-3.15pm to allow our children to arrive and leave safely. Unfortunately, the rules are not always being followed and children continue to be dropped off and picked up by cars outside our school, which is a major health and safety concern for all of our pupils.
Next week’s themes are ….
Mixed-up Monday: wear your jumper back to front
Team up Tuesday- walk to school with a friend or family member
Wild Wednesday – wear your hair in a wild or crazy style
Think about it Thursday – can you think of any ways that we can improve our community?
Freestyle Friday – Wear your own clothes to school.
Thank you, from Primary 4 Junior Road Safety Officers
