Just a reminder that we have our Literacy Open Morning on Thursday 20th November at 9.15am till 10.20am.

Doors open at 9.00am. Everyone Welcome

A huge thank you for all the wonderful donations of pre-loved toys and games.  P7 have been working hard behind the scenes, ensuring everything is in working order and ready to make its way to its new home.

The ‘Revive and Thrive’ sale will be open to pupils on Wednesday 26th November.  Each class will have an allocated time slot to visit the toy sale and purchase pocket money toys.  A maximum of £3 can be sent with each child.  Can we ask that pupils bring loose change (no notes) and a carrier bag, to make sure their purchase makes it home in one piece.

We have some incredible treats on offer including board games, cars, army toys, books, dolls and accessories, fidgets, lorries, dinosaurs – the list goes on.

Just a wee reminder if you have any items at home that would be suitable for the school fayre tombola, please hand them into the school before Friday 28th November.

We all have a cupboard with items that we buy for presents and never use or have unwanted gifts. Your support is appreciated.

Thank you

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

Getting our children to and from school safely is the responsibility of everyone in our village.

Catrine PS is proud to be a School Streets area and to keep our pupils safe we have parking restrictions in place around our school streets at both drop-off and pick-up times.

Between 8.45-9.15am and 2.45-3.15pm, the streets around our school should be free from all unnecessary traffic, apart from residents, to ensure our pupils and wider school community can enter and leave our school safely.

We have noticed an increase in the number of pupils being dropped off at the school each morning, and in the number of cars being parked at our school gates.  If your child can walk to school, we ask that you encourage them to do so to keep the traffic away from our School Streets area. 

We would appreciate your  support in this matter.  Thank you.

Cole in Primary 6  has shown great perseverance and skill in completing a 3D jigsaw, shaped like a ball.

He really concentrated and had to be very careful when placing each individual piece to ensure it didn’t fall to bits!

He is very chuffed with his achievement – well done, Cole!
