Our new Junior Road Safety Officers began their work today with a visit to Kilmarnock. Harper and Lyle, both from P3, worked with other JRSOs from across Ayrshire to explore ideas of how they can help the rest of the school be safe on the road. In their workshops they found safe places to cross the road, they made a poster about The Green Cross Code and identified road signs. They also enjoyed a bit of drama where they had to act out vehicles you might see on the road. Look out for competitions and projects on road safety throughout the year.
Here they are with a poster that will get the nursery involved too.
Well done Harper and Lyle, you were super stars today!
Catrine Primary School has received a large donation of brand new school clothes from Tesco Auchinleck.

Thank you to everyone that handed in a bag of unwanted clothing.

Well done to our Ruby Reward winners this week for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
The whole school worked together in their new Home Circles for the first time this year, and what a wonderful job our P7 pupils did with their younger house members.
We completed a ‘getting to know you’ activity where everyone talked about their favourite things, ranging from Star Wars to Sea Cadets to football to pizza!
Then each Home Circle answered our Big Question based on our school Values –
C is for Community. What is a community? Which communities are we a part of?
Check out their answers below …

We were delighted to be invited to this year’s Climate Conference to share all of the amazing work the school has done around the natural environment. Lucy and Ellie represented Catrine and presented to schools from across the authority, elected members and the Head of Education. They delivered a fantastic presentation that showcased all of the work done in relation to The Clean Green Award and The John Muir Award. A huge well done to the girls, as well as every other pupil and the wider parent/carer community who helped make our days a huge success.
