A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Rebecca and Ceira in P7 have been using their break times to run a singing club. The video below shows one of the songs they have learned and they are going to sing it at assembly on Friday.
Well done to the girls and the group!

This week P2 were gifted a Read Write Count bag each with lots of goodies for numeracy and literacy. Each pupil received their own copy of ‘Open Very Carefully’ by Nick Bromley and ‘A Tale of Two Beasts’ by Fiona Robertson as well as a snakes and ladders game and finger puppets.
P2C and P2S came together along with visiting parents to roleplay with the puppets, play the game and to make their own beast masks.
It was great to see so many people playing, making and reading together.
This week Primary 2S received their Read, Write, Count bags to take home. Each bag contained 2 books, snakes and ladders and finger puppets!
In class, we read one of our Read, Write, Count books, A Tale of Two Beasts by Fiona Roberton.  In the story there are lots of things that the beast isn’t happy about – we shared our ideas then wrote about a day out that the beast would love and one that he would hate!
As part of the First Minister’s Reading Challenge and to celebrate Book Week Scotland, each pupil will be given their own reading passport to keep in school.
When a pupil reads a book, a page in the passport is filled out with the title, author, rating and a few sentences/pictures about the book. This is a great way for pupils to keep a record of what they have read, challenge themselves and to foster a love of reading. At the back of the passport, a chart can be stamped or signed when a book is completed. When their chart is completed they will receive a special certificate to recognise their achievement.
If your child reads a book at home, please write (or have your child write) the title and author of the book in their diary and sign it – this can be transferred to their chart and they can complete the page at school.
This week, remember to send in photographs of pupils and/or families reading in unusual places and these will be displayed and celebrated in school and at our assembly on Friday.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to hearing about all the books the children are reading.
