Primary 3 Highland Games!
On Friday, Primary 3 enjoyed taking part in a ‘Highland Games’ event at Broxburn Academy. This was extra special as it had previously been postponed due to very windy weather. Here are some photos of them taking part in the various activities on the day. They were an absolute credit to our school, showing fantastic sportsmanship, and supporting their friends. Well done to all in P3, we are very proud of you!
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!!
P5 Visit Lendrick Muir

Sports Day
Primary 4 Health Week – Day 4!
Another fantastic day for Primary 4 this Health Week. I am betting that lots of us will sleep well tonight!
Today we began with some Kuk Sool Won which is a type of martial arts! We learned lots of different poses and how they fit together in a sequence. The most important part of Kuk Sool Won is focus and concentration to allow the student to become the best they can be. He also taught us about getting back up again if we fall and about resilience.
Then he showed us how they never hurt anyone and that everyone trusts each other which means they can train safely. He even used some of us to demonstrate!
Today for our healthy snack photo we had 10 children! Well done guys!
After break we tried some relaxation time with music, which was inspired by P6, and we got to bring in blankets and cushions so we could switch off and clear our minds. Some of us chose to just lie down, while others opted to sit quietly and draw.
We then participated in some Judo in the hall! We got to wear judo jackets and worked with partners to learn some judo techniques.
He also demonstrated with us!
(Remember that judo is not to be trained outside of a dojo or without a coach)
Of course, to end the day we had our 2018 Sports Day!
It was a beautiful day and each group tried their hardest on every station. We all did so well at our P4 races, even though we were very tired and warm by then!
We had the sack race first;
and then we had the flat running race;
Well done to everyone who took part and I’m sure we all did a brilliant job! We will find out the scores and winners tommorrow at assembly.
Please remember that tomorrow we are back to our normal school uniform!
P1- 7 Sports Day
Sports Day will go ahead today at 1:15pm. We look forward to seeing you.
