Primary 1 Class Charter

We created our class charter using a book study.​ We read the book ‘Sharing a Shell’ by Julia Donaldson to help us.​ The book explored our school values of Kindness, Respect and Friendship. We used our prior learning about our school values to support us with learning about our rights. We discussed the role of Rights Holders and Duty Bearers.​ We chose rights from the UNCRC which we felt we understood.

PUSCPS Clubs – Parent/Carer Volunteers

Hello everyone,

We are looking to provide extra-curricular activities for our learners this year.

These clubs do not have to all be sports based (eg LEGO, art, drawing, yoga etc) or run for a long time (minimum of 2 weeks to 4 max).

In order to run these clubs, we are asking for some parent/carer volunteers to support us with this. The clubs need to run from the end of the school day without any break (3.15-4.15pm), as the children are not able to be left unattended. If you would be willing to run a club at any point this year – please fill out the form to let us know your availability.

We require volunteers to support our learners with extra curricular activities as we aim to achieve our Sport Scotland Gold Award.

This form will take 2 minutes to fill out.

The link for the form is below:

Thank you for your support,

Primary 1 End of Term Update

Hello parents/carers,

Information regarding everything that has been covered this term is available on Seesaw. This will provide you with an insight of things you can recap or follow up on at home over the festive period.

Children who are wanting to write Christmas cards for their peers have been reminded of where their class mates names can be found.

We look forward to having you along to our Nativity performance on Thursday morning.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Walkingshaw

Primary 1 Update

Hello parents/carers,
What a wonderful first week we have had in Primary 1. The children have transitioned into their new class and routines well showing resilience to overcome their first week nerves. Thank you for supporting our learners on their new journey.
PE – Our PE days for this term will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Children should come into school with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate in sporting activities (ie trainers, joggers, t-shirt, jumper).
Snack for break time – If possible, can your child’s snack be kept separate from their lunch as some children are getting confused between what is for their break and what is for their lunch. Children may also want to have a small snack for the afternoon at the beginning of this school year, whilst they adjust to the longer days.
Seesaw login – All children will be provided with their Seesaw logins. Please try these at home and let me know if you have any issues. They will be uploading work onto their own accounts over the coming weeks once they have settled in to school life.
RCCT – Mrs Hardie will be working in Primary 1 on a Tuesday afternoon and will cover a range of HWB topics, PE and French.
Milk – Some children have been asking for milk; however they are not on the current list. If you would like them to be added to the list, please contact the school office.
Allergies – A reminder that no nut products should be brought into school due to children having allergies to different types of foods.
Personal items – Please ensure that everything your child brings to school is named. This will make it easier for them to look after and prevent things from being lost.
Lunch – Ensure children know what they are having for lunch before they arrive in the morning. If they are a school lunch which has been pre-ordered, this will not be changed by myself. You can order your child’s lunch through iPayimpact prior to them attending on the day. We use the colours in class to help identify what they would like.
The clear school bag/book bag provided during the transition into P1 is always useful for information to be sent home in. Please can you return the clear school bag/book bag so we can start using them to send information home. Should you not have access to the above, we will organise this for you.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw

Friday Fun in P6

This morning we developed our knowledge of angles using active maths inspired activities. We used masking tape to create different types of angles on our classroom tables. We continued to develop our confidence of using protractors during this activity.

We had to identify the different types of angles we had been learning about by stating the accurate degree and the type of angle (right angle, acute, straight line or obtuse).

We worked in different groups to ensure we achieved success and developed our confidence.
