The recent Parent Council meeting minutes are now available to read on the link below.
JRSO Committee
Yesterday the JRSO committee group were learning about the importance of wearing a helmet when riding a bike or scooter. We carried out a survey and found that out of the 17 pupils in our group:
- 13 pupils have a bike
- 12 pupils have a scooter
- only 4 pupils wear a helmet when riding their bike or scooter
We talked about the reasons for this and found that some pupils don’t own a helmet. The pupils that did own a helmet thought that they didn’t need to wear one or that it wasn’t cool.
We then designed our own helmets thinking about the colours we would choose and the safety features that we could add. Have a look at our designs.
We would encourage everyone to wear a helmet when you are riding a bike, scooter or even rollerblades/skates as it could save your life!
World Book Day
The Reading Leadership Committee group met yesterday to plan next week’s World Book Day event which will take place on Thursday 7th March.
They decided that each pupil should bring in their favourite book from home and every class will allocate a set time to “Drop Everything and Read”. Don’t worry if you don’t have any books at home, the children will be able to borrow a book from the library.
The committee have also planned a series of activities for each stage including book themed treasure hunts for the Infants and Middle classes and Kahoot Quizzes for the Upper primaries.
In the afternoon the teachers are all going to swap around to read their favourite kid’s book to another class.
Look out for some pictures of all our exciting activities next week!

Exciting (but sad) news for P3/4
We’re delighted – but also really sad – that Miss Caughie will be leaving us on Friday 15th March to take up a new post in a residential school in the Scottish Highlands.
Miss Caughie, along with Mrs McCaig, has been teaching our P3/4 class since August last year and has quickly become a valued member of #Team Catrine PS staff.
We wish her all the luck in the world in her new position.
