We were really pleased to hear that Declan won second prize for the Bake Off Competition last week.
This week Ben Salvin was elected as our Pupil Council Representative.
We all enjoyed being out and about in Pumpherston this week doing our litter pick. We enjoy helping in our community.
Next week is parent’s night so we are all looking forward to hearing our good reports.
Can you guess what we were celebrating?

Can you remember why the Eco committee were looking so happy this week? More news to follow..
Litter pick – new date! 2nd October!
Due to prior commitments of the NETS team and their equipment, the new date for the Community Litter pick will be Wednesday 2nd October. Please contact the school office if you would be able to join us on a walk around our community to pick up any litter and make Pumpherston and Uphall Station clean and tidy. Join Us! 
Saving Scottish Animals
We had a very special visitor in school today. All of our classes got the chance to meet Lee, who is an animal rescue officer with the Scottish SPCA. We learned lots about how we can help protect animals here in our community, how dangerous litter can be 
and what to do if we see an animal in trouble. She taught us to stay safe, tell an adult and contact the SSPCA for help. Here is a link to their website http://www.scottishspca.org/
Too wet for wombling!
Sadly we had to postpone our Community Litter Pick today due to the extreme wet weather. A new date will be announced shortly. Thank you to everyone who offered support!
Wanted: Willing Wombles! Community Litter Pick next week
Our big Autumn Litter pick, out in the villages of Pumpherston and Uphall Station, will take place next Thursday morning(Sept 19th). We would like to have as many of our friends and families taking part as possible – if you have an hour or so to spare come and join in with the classes as they tidy up the local area.The first groups will leave the school at 9.15am.
We’ll be out and about on the streets and in the parks. Members of WLC NETS team will be with us to give training, lend equipment and hand out the bright yellow vests we wear to show we’re all Keeping Scotland Beautiful. If you can help please contact the office and we’ll match you up with a group on the day. Thank you!
P6 weekly blog
We are all pleased to be back to school and we are looking forward to all of the new things we will be learning this term. Our topic this term is the Jacobites. We are hoping to go on a school trip to the Water of Leith Visitor Centre in Edinburgh  to find out more about the Jacobites!

Primary 4 have been learning about artefacts from the Jewish synagogue.
News from the eco committee.
On the 23rd of September a important lady is coming to the school to see if our school is eco enough for the green flag.In our meeting on Tuesday we were talking about what we are going to do clean up around our school grounds, the suds pond and the school garden for our action plan this year. P5 have been doing ground force and they have been trying their hardest to keep our school grounds as clean as posible. P6 have been doing litter picking.
Any parents or friends of the school who would like to help with weeding, digging or planting this year would be very welcome. Please contact Mrs Hull at the school.
Thank you.
