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 3/2

This week in Primary 3/2 we have been finishing off our topic on Fairtrade. We have completed our learning journey to show all of the work we have done along the way.

On Wednesday we made our own banana and mango smoothies. We learned different cutting skills and the importance of food hygiene.  We created our  own recipes and enjoyed getting to taste them when they were ready.

Super work Primary 3/2 you have worked really hard throughout our Fairtrade topic!

Show racism the red card.

This week, Primary 5 have been learning about racism and the serious impact it has on victims and their families. We read about the sickening story of Antony Walker and were shocked to find out how he was treated. We wrote letters to his family to share how their story made us feel and our hopes for the future. We hope that all people learn about the impact of their actions and how dangerous and upsetting racism can be.

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 started looking at early skills for division.

We learned that quantities can be ‘broken up’ by sharing or grouping. We explored how to share/group using counting materials and then began looking at how we could use jottings/pictures to do this too.

All classes will have a ‘Sharing the Learning’ event on Friday morning at 11.20. We would love to see you there!

Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been up to!

Neurodiversity Week 2024

This week, 18th-24th March is Neurodiversity Celebration week.

The Pupil Council and Inclusive Schools groups have explored neurodiversity and been investigating ways in which our school supports neurodiverse learners.

The link below takes you to the Neurodiversity Celebration week website. There are some great videos here that explain neurodiversity (e.g. autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD) in more detail. There are also lots of resources available to support parents/carers.

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 celebrated World Book Day!

We explored one of the World Book Day £1 books, ‘Charlie McGrew & the Horse that he Drew’ by Rob Biddulph. The story follows Charlie, a little boy who isn’t able to have his own pet, so draws one instead! The book is interactive and encourages children to add their own drawings – I think it would be a great use of the £1 book token!

In the spirit of the story, we created our own pet horses, some of which you can see below.

Congratulations to Murray, who was awarded his own copy of the story to take home and enjoy!

Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been up to!
Primary 2/1 & Miss M 🙂
