Friday Parent Craft Club!
We have been having lots of fun trying out some festive crafts and have learned that some things are easier than others.
Here are a few things that we have been working on for the Christmas Fayre on Friday. All the funds that we raise will go back into the school and our club to buy materials.
Today we wore our festive jumpers for our Christmas Lunch. The Primary 7 Young Leaders served us our lunch and we got to relax and enjoy our food with our friends and teachers. Thank you to the kitchen staff for such a yummy lunch!

This week, Primary 2 developed their ‘grand designs’!
We were given the task of designing a suitable hibernation home for Harry the Hedgehog. It had to be strong, warm, comfortable and dark. We had been learning about natural and man-made materials too, so we decided to make the homes from natural materials. We sketched out plans and decided in groups which plans (or parts of plans) we liked best.
Here are some of our ideas:
On Thursday, we will be gathering materials and putting our plans into action!
Check in with us to see what else we have been learning this week!
Until then…
Primary 2 & Miss M 🙂
Today we were singing at Edinburgh Airport and we collected £284.60!
Well done everyone!
See you all at the School Fair!
Primary Four have been very busy recently! We have been doing a lot of reflective reading in groups looking for information and using this information to answer questions.
We also got a new visitor who will be staying with us for the month… his name is Peppy and he has been up to all kinds of crazy things already!
Finally, we have been working on writing our own song with Miss Mulholland. Each group made up their own beats, pitches and lyrics and we began to perform our own sections this week. They are sounding great already!
This week we were making factfiles about our favourite animals. We had to meet the following success criteria:
I can…. have a bold title
I can…lay my work out creatively
I can… have interesting facts
I can …. have eye catching pictures.
Here are some examples of our factfiles. Do you think they have met all of their success criteria?
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS – a warm and caring learning community. We strongly believe that all children are individuals and we work hard to ensure that they are happy and achieving well in all areas of their development.Â
We aim to prepare all our young people for the challenges of the future. Our learning environment aims to stimulate, challenge, support and provide opportunities to develop life skills. We have high expectations for all our children and we celebrate attainment and achievement inside and outside of school in a range of ways.
We take positive steps to promote effective partnerships between home, school and the wider community. We have an open door policy and you will, as parents and carers, always be made welcome. We hope you enjoy looking at life within our school and nursery and we would welcome your comments under any blog posting.
