Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
We are learning different activities and games to help us with our learning.
We enjoyed the pantomime Cinderella in school on Monday and drew pictures of our favourite part of the show:
B: I loved when they were dancing.”
A: “I liked when they got married.”
O: “I liked when they gave us high fives.”
Primary 1 have been learning about 2d shape this week.
We made shapes using lollipop sticks, created our own street with 2d shape houses and practised drawing 2d shapes with chalks during our outdoor learning.
Primary 1 have been helping Granny Scott with another problem this week. Her street has litter everywhere, so we made posters that she can put up around the village to encourage people to put any rubbish in the bin.
In class, we talked about how to be a good friend in school and had to complete a challenge with a partner, sorting pictures into friendly and unfriendly behaviour.
As Primary 1 are just beginning their school journey, snapshot jotters will be sent home next term.
Granny Scott emailed the school office to ask Primary 1 for their help. Granny wants to move to Pumpherston and asked us to design a house for her. We designed our house on paper first. The house had to have a roof and chimney, front door and 4 windows. We sent Granny our designs, then during our outdoor learning made our own house designs using construction.

Term 1 overview attached for Primary 1.
Primary 1 are learning to move around the hall safely in PE and are taking part in different activities that help with our balance and control.
On Wednesday, we had an Achievement Assembly. Ariya received an award for carefully drawing and talking about the people in her family and Hallie received an award for showing respect in class. Hallie has lovely manners and always remembers to say “please” and “thank you” when ordering her school lunch.
We have had another happy and settled week in class. We are becoming more independent and are now learning how to self-register in the morning. We all made a picture of ourselves for the wall and each morning, we move our picture down to let our teacher know we are here.
Depending on how we are feeling, we move our picture to a different mood monster (happy, sad, worried, tired or angry). This lets Mrs Strachan know how we are feeling, so she can check in with us.

We have been busy settling in to our new class, learning the school routines and getting to know our new teacher.
In class, we have spent time talking about how we can make our class a happy and safe place to learn and what our adults in school can do to help us.
Here are some photos of us busy in Primary 1 and of our Class Charter (Our Pinky Promise).
