All the pupils and staff at Catrine Primary School would like to say goodbye and good luck to Mrs McDicken, who has been our Senior Clerical Assistant for 28 years!

We would like to thank her for her many years of dedicated service to the pupils and community of Catrine, and wish her all the best in her new role at Ochiltree PS.

A reminder that Mrs Schendel, Miss Edmund and Miss McLean will be in the playground from 2.45pm tomorrow, Tuesday 10th May, to chat about all things maths.  See post below for more details.

These girls – P7 pupils Layla, Sophie and Alix and Lexie in P6 –  took part in the SSBU Badminton Primary Championships at the weekend in Perth. They were excellent representatives for the school and the community and we are very proud of them all.

Well done!! What an achievement.

REMINDER

Tomorrow, Thursday 5th May is a staff in-service day.

Thank you.

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 Edmund and Miss McLean would love a blether with parents/carers of P3 and Primary 4 about all things maths and will be in the main playground on Tuesday 10th 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.

We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer the questions in this survey.  We want to find out what local people in the village of Catrine think about their community and how you think it could be improved.

This information will be used to develop a plan to improve the Village and the A M Brown Institute.

This survey is being carried out by Catrine Community Action Plan, which is made up of a combination of local groups, businesses and residents. 

Local residents can also complete this form online at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/CatrineCommunityConsultation/

Wow!! Our pupils are so creative and imaginative and have once again blown us away with their amazing egg creations.

Well done to our winners!

We even had a special visitor to wish us a Happy Easter.

Have a wonderful holiday!

Primary 7 is organising a Fun Day on Friday 1 April to raise funds for their leaver hoodies. Each House group will organise 4 fun activities and deliver these to every class throughout the day. A contribution of £1.00 can be paid through ParentPay.

Please note the school closes on Friday 1 April at 2.30 p.m. for the Easter break. All children will start on Tuesday 19 April at 9.00 a.m.

Your child will be coming home with their annual report card today and I hope you feel very proud reading about their progress and achievements over the last school session.  Also included is a feedback form. It would be great if you would sit with your child to complete this and return it to school next week.  Along with the report card is the current RSHP curriculum and vocabulary that your child’s class will be covering in Term 4. This information is included to ensure that you are kept informed about future learning objectives.

*Please remember to book an appointment to receive a telephone call from your child’s teacher.

If you wish any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
