Health Week 2018

Our Health Week was a great success at PUSCPS! During the week, we had lots of different visitors to our school and we learned a lot. We had instructors in judo, kuk sool won, as well as coaches from Linlithgow Rugby Club and active schools. All classes enjoyed ‘Bodyworks’ sessions with staff from Glasgow Science Centre – these comprised engaging science shows, interactive workshops and amazing exhibits, designed to teach children about the human body. Our school nurse also visited classes to teach the children about different ways to stay healthy. Each class had the opportunity to use the curling equipment and learned to prepare healthy food in class. Everyone enjoyed trying something new. Our sports day on the Thursday afternoon went very well – we even had a sunny day! First, there were potted sports and then each class selected races to compete in. On  the Friday morning, we rounded off our week with an assembly to celebrate all the learning (and fun!) that had taken place over the whole week. Each class was asked to present on their favourite activities.  The winning house from sports day was then announced. Well done to …. Almond!!

Term 4 Celebration Assembly

Today we had our second Celebration Assembly to celebrate all our achievements during Term 4.

Ruby and Meg, pupils from Broxburn Academy joined us to share with us about their achievements and their journey to achievement. They reinforced our school values and how it was important to preserve to achieve your dreams, although at times you might have set backs.

We had our Dojo Top Scorers for each of our houses – they received a gift voucher for WH Smith.

Each teacher nominated a child in their class for the Remarkable Reader Award for making progress in their reading.

They also  nominated a child in their class for the STEM Superstar Award for making progress in Science, Technologies, Engineering and Maths.

Afternoon Tea/ Bake Off Postponed

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having to postpone our Macmillan coffee afternoon on Thursday 21st June. The Bake Off Competition will therefore be cancelled too. We are hoping to re-organise this in the new school year. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. 

Celebration Assembly – Tuesday 19th June

On Tuesday 19th June  we are holding our second Celebration Assembly to mark our achievements this term.

Teachers have nominated children for a STEM Superstar and Remarkable Reader Awards in each class, if your child is receiving one of these awards you should have received a special invite last week.

Two pupils from Broxburn Academy are joining us to share their achievements and inspire us.

We will also be giving out Head Teachers Awards, Sumdog Awards, Top Scorers and the House Winners, so please feel free to come along and and join us at 2:15pm if you wish.

Peer Mediation Training

This week our Primary 6s went through Peer Mediation training with Amanda and Sarah from Scottish Mediation. They went through a range of activities exploring what mediation means and the processes that are involved in peer mediation.

Sarah and Amanda said:

”We had such a great time with the group of pupils, who were really focused on the task and a pleasure to work with …  you will have a great team of magic mediators. Both Amanda and I would like to thank yourself and your staff for helping us and making us fell very welcome over the two days.  Your school is a delight to work with.”

Some of P6 children will be Magical Mediators in the playground next session as part of our Responsible Roles programme.

Congratulations to Primary 6!

The ‘NED’ Show Assembly

 

We are fortunate to have The NED Show visiting our school on Wednesday 20th June. They will deliver an assembly that uses storytelling, humour, illusions, and yo-yo tricks to inspire and motivate children, to ‘Never Give Up’, ‘Encourage Others’, and ‘Do your Best’. Their 45 minute character assembly will promote positive attitudes and encourage children to do their best every day.  After the assembly (and for the week after), NED products will be available to buy. The attached letter will be sent home with children this week which give details of these.  Please note that there is absolutely no obligation on children to buy a yo-yo or any of the other products.
