Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Our school have been invited to take part in the Uphall Station Gala Day on Saturday 8th June. The theme this year is ‘tropical’. All children at our school can attend and walk in the parade to represent our school.
More information to follow.
On Thursday after school we opened our doors to our community for our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
This event was organised by our Parent Partners, with support from the school staff.
Our children created art work to decorate the hall and we used our home learning task to decorate the tables.
The entrance tickets allowed access to the tea party and a range of different activities including:

Today we celebrated World Autism Awareness Day.
We all wore our favourite colours to show how we are all different.
Mr Ullathorne, one of our parents who works with Autism Initiatives took workshops with P2-7. They discussed autistic super powers, neurodiversity and sensory overload.
A big thank you to Mr Ullathorne for giving up his time to come and work with us.
Great fun today taking workshops with children from P2-P7 for #WorldAutismAwarenessDay.. Talked autistic superpowers, neurodiversity & meeting each others' sensory needs.. Proud to work with @AutismInit to support people to have control & choice in life ❤https://t.co/IypN9stJQS

Some of our P7s will be selling items and have organised games on the P6 and P7 decking during the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to raise money for their leavers celebrations.
Last week some of our children who are confident on the Pump Track volunteered (with permission from their parents) to take part in a publicity photo shoot for West Lothian Council.
Here are some of the photos below.
Remember! Safety first on the Pump Track, find some tips in this blog post.
