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.

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!

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.

Our P6 buddies enjoyed another morning with their buddies from the ECC this morning. This week the focus was literacy and we were all so impressed with the children’s skills.

It was great to hear from our National Numeracy partners this afternoon at our parent workshop.

The top tips shared to help build positive mindsets towards maths included:

• Point out maths in everyday life
• Be positive about maths
• Praise effort not talent
• Boost your own confidence.

If you want anymore tips or want to discuss how to help your child with maths please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.
