Families Learning Together 3
Repost: Learning & Teaching at PUSCPS Event
A reminder, that we warmly invite you to come along and join us at our learning and teaching evening.
We often hear from our families, what does learning look like at PUSCPS and what are the school’s priorities.
Come along and find out from staff and children in an informal way what we have been focusing on this year!
We will even provide you with a wee tea or coffee. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening.
Those parent/ carers with an IDL invite will also be able to attend a workshop on this evening.
Repost: Fair Trade Dress Down Day
A reminder that our February dress down day will on Friday 8th March. We would request that if children chose to take part in the dress down day that they make a donation (usually £1) and this donation will go towards Fairtrade, as it is Fairtrade fortnight. The dress down day is free choice, remembering that  dress is appropriate for school, we would request no football colours (following West Lothian policy) and no midriff tops.
We are aware that this is the P1 Assembly Day but they can also take part in the dress down day.
Fun Time Friday
Today we had Fun Time Friday. Fun Time Friday is an opportunity for all our children to select an activity that they are interested in and take part in it with peers across different classes. We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.
Fun Time Friday: Camera Club: Our Nursery
Pumphie Pals: Fairtrade
As part of Fairtrade Fortnight our Pumphie Pals session today had a Fairtrade theme.
First of all the children sorted statements which represented Fairtrade values and those that didn’t.
Then they had a Fairtrade quiz.
P6 Euro Quiz
Four of our Primary 6s joined schools across West Lothian at Howden Park this morning where they took part in the West Lothian heats of the Scottish European Educational Trust Euroquiz 2019. We were so impressed with how much of their own time they had used to learn about Europe. They answered four rounds of questions – geography, languages, European union and culture/sport/history of Europe. A big congratulations to our team!
Care Inspectorate Visit
As some of you will be aware our nursery went through a Care Inspection today. The Care Inspection process and gradings criteria has changed from our previous inspections, and the gradings we have been awarded are recognition of all the hard work, commitment and the journey our nursery team have been on. I am very proud of our nursery team! Thank you to all the parents and carers who filled out questionnaires and had dialogue with the Care Inspectorate team, we appreciate your kind feedback. As always, we received lots of positive feedback and praise about our nursery children.  The report will be available within the next month or so and we look forward to sharing the findings with you.

Our chicks have become famous on Twitter today through our l live feed on Skype using Glow.
You can view the feed by downloading the app and clicking on the link:Â https://meet.lync.com/glowscotland/wlsarah.mcjimpsey/IV807O25
P3 and P7 joined in the Skype stream, using chat to ask P1 some questions about the chicks and suggest some names for the new arrivals.
