Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
P5 would like to say thank you to all of the parents and carers who came to see their assembly yesterday. We hope you learned some interesting facts about how life in the 16th century was different to life today.
A huge thank you to our parent partners and our parent volunteers for a fantastic Halloween disco – the children had a ball!
At today’s JLT meeting, the Sporting Stars stuck all the Aldi stickers that PUSCPS have been collecting to a huge poster.
We only need 50 more stickers to fill the poster!
If we fill the poster we are guaranteed a free sport’s kit for our school and we get to enter a prize draw to be in with the chance of winning £20,000!
The closing date for sticker collection is Wednesday 13th November 2019. 
P7 parents and carers are invited to attend the class assembly on Tuesday 5th November at 2.15pm. As this special assembly is about World War 2, please feel free to invite older relatives too.
We look forward to welcoming you then.
Calder were the term 1 house points winners. Summer and Kyle surveyed the children in Calder to find out what they would like their treat to be and they selected a movie afternoon. They then did a survey to find out which movie and they picked Nanny McPhee. We also picked juice, popcorn and ice lollies for refreshments and dressed in our pjs. We had a fun, relaxing afternoon with our house buddies! Thank you to Kyle, Summer and the P7 Young Leaders for helping to organise and set up the party.
Congratulations Calder!
Primary 3 had a great afternoon with Maureen from the Museums’ Service, discovering more about Victorian life. They got to dress up as Victorian school children and held lots of Victorian artefacts, learning about their use in daily life long ago.

On Friday we had our end of term Celebration Assembly.
We acknowledged our Awesome Authors, those children who have made excellent progress or achievements within writing.
We also recognised our STEM Superstars, those children who have made excellent progress or achievements within Science, Technologies or Maths.
We recognised our P6 and 7 children who helped out at our recent parent consultations.
We found out that our school has received the Silver Sports Scotland Award. A huge congratulations to our Sports Stars and Mrs McConville.
Our House and Vice Captains set a Maths Weeks Scotland Poster Challenge, and the winners received a prize!
We took part in the National Maths Week Sumdog Competition. Some of children completed all 1000 questions! Primary 3 scored the highest for the school, and Tyler came 207th out of almost 75000 pupils.
Thank you to our Sumdog reps who reminded up about the competition!
We watched a video that showed us all about our learning during Maths Week Scotland.

Congratulations to Calder for winning the house points this term.
Congratulations to Calder for winning the house points his term!
They have decided on a Movie Afternoon for their treat. On Thursday 10th October children in Calder can bring along pyjamas/ onesie to change into (they should wear their uniform to school) and a blanket/ pillow. Children should not bring their own snacks as these will be provided.
We look forward to celebrating!
During Maths Week, Primary 3 have enjoyed taking part in the Sumdog competition both at home and in school. The whole class received a certificate for being one of the top performing classes in the school! Well done to Jessica who also received a certificate for ranking in the list of the top 1,000 pupils out of 74,000 pupils who took part!
We have also been learning about the time, looking at both analogue and digital clocks. We have been using what we have learned to recognise the times of events in our day like break time and lunch time. Our next step is to compare the timings of our school day with the timings of a Victorian school day.
Parents and carers of P5 children are invited to attend the P5 class assembly on Thursday 31st October at 2.15pm.
We look forward to welcoming you then.
