To kick start our new topic on democracy, Primary 6 spent Monday afternoon doing a scavenger hunt, looking for key vocabulary related to the topic.
Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Literacy – In literacy, we have been learning about semi colon. These are used for adding on more information about what we might be talking about instead of using a connective.
We have also been learning about cause and effect, as this is going to link with our explanation writing.
Numeracy – In numeracy this week we have been revising our fractions, working out fractions of amounts. The circles were also learning about sevenths and and ninths. We also did problem solving with Mrs. Harrison.
PE – In P.E, we started our new unit on Tennis. We were working on our agility, balance and co-ordination.
Science – We were learning about gravity and how it pulls everything down. This was demonstrated by pouring water out of water bottles.
This week as part of our ‘Resilience’ topic we have been learning about cooperation.  In groups we created a cooperation drawing. We decided on a theme for our drawing e.g. a playground, garden or a space creature.  We sat in groups of around 4 children. The first person started off the picture and after a minute on a stop signal we passed the drawing to the next person .  Each person in the group had a turn to complete the picture. We discussed that sometimes it is difficult to cooperate and trust others to continue our work.
This week we have been learning about Easter. We made our own books about the Easter story and made Easter cards with a symmetrical egg design on the front.
One of our P1 friends is moving to a new school after the holidays, so we decided to have a leaving party for him. We made Easter hats for the party and enjoyed party food and dancing to our favourite music.
This week in numeracy we have continued to concentrate on subtraction (P1 within 10/P2 within 20). We have been exploring data handling in maths.
Primary 2 have discussed and written their ‘Evaluation’ for their Information Report on Kittens this week and P1 have been writing about bath time.
We made our regular visit to the library on Monday.
We have been exploring ‘Relationships’ as part of our Resilience learning. This week we talked about ‘In our family we like to…….’
We worked hard and performed our assembly on ‘France’. Well done to all of the children, you were fantastic! Thank you also to parents/carers and family for your support.
