Please remember to check your child’s class blog to see what they’ve been learning in their class.
This has been a very busy week in Catrine PS – from strings tuition to art exhibitions and from caterpillars to Viking jewellery!
Each class has their own separate class blog which is full of great photos and details about what our pupils have been up to. The links to the blogs are included in the Menu section of our home GLOW page.

Harvest Hush-In 2022
Harvest Service – Wednesday 12th October @ 9.15am
A warm welcome is extended to all family and friends to come and join us to celebrate our Harvest Thanksgiving next Wednesday 12th October. Please note we are not asking for food donations this year, thank you.
Catrine Primary School – Harvest Hush-In
To help raise money for school funds we are hosting a Sponsored Silence on Wednesday 12th October.
P1, P2 and P3 pupils will aim for 30 minutes silence, with P4 to P7 pupils trying to be quiet for 45 minutes!
The Harvest Hush-In will take place in class between 1.00pm and 2.00pm. The pupils will read books and complete activities related to reading. Each class has a class library so there is a wide range of books available.
All money raised will go towards transport costs for our whole school cinema trip in December – details to follow.
As we are a cashless school, donations for the Harvest Hush-In should be made on ParentPay – this means that we don’t need individual sponsor sheets. When you log into your ParentPay account, you will see a Harvest Hush-In notification – you can donate as much as you like (minimum donation of £1.00). Please do not send cash into the school.
Please contact the school for any more information, thanks for your continued support and we hope you can join us at our Harvest Service next week. Mrs Govans

Maths Open Morning
We were so delighted today to finally open our doors and welcome our pupils’ families back in to our school!
It was amazing (and quite emotional) to see so many of you this morning and the staff and children were so proud to show off all the fantastic work that takes place in our classrooms.
A huge well done to our superstars Ellie and Hannah who stood up and demonstrated their maths skills, they were outstanding.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We will look through these and look at ways at continuing to support pupils and families with maths. Look out for future posts on how we have responded to your suggestions.
Thank you so much once again, we really loved having you all back!

Dates for the Diary
Please follow the link for dates for your diary for the following months of September, October and November 2022.
Maths Week Scotland
This week is Maths Week Scotland and we are looking forward to taking part in lots of activities throughout the week.
Following on from the success of last year, we are relaunching our National Numeracy’s Family Maths scrapbooks and activities. These are activities that help children and families to explore everyday maths at home together. They link the maths that children are learning at school with life outside the classroom.
To help you and your child complete these activities every pupil will bring home a toolkit packed full of equipment to help you get creative.
Please come along to our Maths Open Morning this Wednesday 28th at 9am for more information on supporting your child at home with maths. You will also have the opportunity to visit your child’s classroom and see all the amazing maths activities that take place there every day.
Have fun exploring your toolkit and I look forward to looking through the scrapbooks.
