Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
INCLUSION COMMITTEE
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.
Rights Respecting Schools
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.
STEM Committee
Our STEM committee have been hard at work trying to promote STEM learning across the whole school.
This week our STEM committee were able to think like engineers and built Mr Wonka’s factory.
The pupils were able to evaluate their designs and discuss their strengths and areas for improvement.

JRSO – Be Bright, Be Seen Day
Our JRSO Committee Group organised a ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ dress down day today and loved seeing all the brightly coloured clothes that pupils came to school wearing. It is important to remember that cars can’t always see us crossing the road as it is now much darker in the mornings and at night.
Our P6/7 Committee Group members chose a winner from each class for the brightest outfit. The winners were:
P1: Jake
P2/3: Layla
P3/4: Oscar
P4/5: Tristan
P5/6: Ayden
P6/7: Millie
Well done everyone!

Homework Consultation
At our Parents Night in October, we asked parents/carers for their views on Homework – and the comments confirmed our thoughts that there is a very wide range of opinions on the benefits and necessity of homework coming home from school.
As a staff we value your input and will take all of your suggestions and comments into consideration as we continue to review our homework policy and provision. We will, as always, update you with any changes.
Please have a read through the collated comments, and thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts. Mrs Govans
