Welcome to Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary and Nursery School Blog.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS – a warm and caring learning community.  We strongly believe that all children are individuals and we work hard to ensure that they are happy and achieving well in all areas of their development. 

We aim to prepare all our young people for the challenges of the future. Our learning environment aims to stimulate, challenge, support and provide opportunities to develop life skills. We have high expectations for all our children and we celebrate attainment and achievement inside and outside of school in a range of ways.

We take positive steps to promote effective partnerships between home, school and the wider community. We have an open door policy and you will, as parents and carers, always be made welcome. We hope you enjoy looking at life within our school and nursery and we would welcome your comments under any blog posting.

Primary 5 Dynamic Earth Trip

Last week, Primary 5 visited Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, where we learned all about the amazing world of oceans. The highlight of our visit was the Oceans Workshop, where the children took part in five engaging activities:

  • Creating an Ocean Food Web: Exploring how all marine life is connected.
  • Ocean Layers: Identifying animals that live in the different ocean zones.
  • Pressure Experiments: Understanding how pressure increases with depth.
  • Coral Acidification: Using chalk to see how pollution affects coral reefs.
  • ROV Expedition: Learning how robots help scientists study deep-sea animals.

We also toured Dynamic Earth, discovering more about our planet, the water cycle, and ocean ecosystems.

Have a look at our pictures to see the fun we had on this exciting learning adventure!

P6 STEM: Volcanoes

To finish off our Natural Disasters project, P6 enjoyed building and erupting volcanoes. We used our research skills to plan and write news reports about a Volcanic eruption. We know what a volcano is made of and should look like. We designed and decorated our volcanoes. We used our STEM skills to measure and mix ingredients to create a chemical reaction. Look at our lava pouring down our volcanoes.

P6 Sharing the Learning Morning


Thank you to our grownups who made it along to visit the P6 showing on Friday. The class loved sharing their Sky Up Academy experience with you.

The movie trailers were entirely child led and each child took on an important role in a group to complete the challenge.  ICT, literacy, expressive arts and Health & wellbeing skills were all developed on the day.  We were very impressed with the cooperation in the teams too!
