St Catherine’s Primary # 2021

What a fantastic afternoon with St Mirren legend and author Tony Fitzpatrick, Skoobmobile staff, Renfrewshire Council’s 2012 team and Primary 3. The children enjoyed putting forward their ideas for Paisley’s bid and being read from Tony Fitzpatrick’s children’s book, ‘The Promise.’

One Planet Picnic

Thank you to Mrs Kelly and the Eco Committee for organising our recent One Planet Picnic. The children  learned about the importance of eating  local produce and reducing waste and finished the day with a litter pick involving our nursery Eco Committee. Well done children!

Summer Disco

Thank you to our Parent Council for putting on a fantastic and free disco for all of our children. The children (and staff!) had a wonderful time dancing, eating and chilling in our beautiful outdoor classroom area.

This term we are enjoying our new outdoor classroom and taking our learning outdoors. We are very busy planting and making the most of the nice weather. We discussed how we are going to spend our new funding from the Tesco Bags of Help Campaign at assembly this week and everyone is very excited to have a new and improved playground very soon!

Tesco Bags of Help

We won!!

Following the ‘Bags of Help’ public vote in the local Tesco Stores our project ‘Fit and Fun’ came first and has been chosen by Tesco customers to receive a £12,000 grant. We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this grant. The money received has been earmarked for projects that will improve outdoor learning and play for our children through funding improvements in the playground and developing the Nursery Secret Garden. Sincere thanks to Mrs Henry who worked with Mr McKay and the children of the Playground Games Committee to put together the winning project. Thank you also to those who voted for our project.
