As a school community we are very lucky to have an onsite community library. All our children from nursery – P7 have the opportunity to visit the library as a class during the school week. You can also continue this experience by visiting the library as a family, please see the leaflet below for opening hours.

Why not pop in after school to find out more?

Building Our Community

During the first two weeks of school, classes are focusing on building their class learning community. This is an opportunity for the children and staff to develop their relationships and get to know each other, therefore building a strong foundation for learning.

Some of the activities they will be completing are:

Creating their class community contract
Internet safety
Exploring a school value to share at our values assembly
Establishing routines
Primary 1 and 7 have had buddy time
Primary 7 are also preparing for the House Captain Election
P2-7 children will also complete a spelling assessment.

The classes will blog on Friday about their Community Contract so that families are aware of the expectations in each class.

Welcome Assembly!

On Friday we had our welcome back assembly. It was lovely to see our happy, smiley PUSCPS family back together. It was also fantastic to see every child wearing their school uniform, I would like to thank our families for their support with this.

We explored the value of positivity, which is our value of the month. Using emotion works we discussed:

Emotion words: What other words do we use for positivity?
Body sensations: How does our body feel when we are positive?
Triggers: What makes us feel positive?

We also celebrated the achievement of some of our children who completed the Tesco Bank Summer Reading Challenge at Pumpherston Library. The challenge finishes at the end of August so there is still time to complete it.

Congratulations to our summer readers!
