Primary 5

This week, Primary 5 have been learning more about Scots’ language.

Last year, we learned some Scots’ adjectives and used these to describe ourselves. This year, we extended our range of adjectives and learned words to describe a town/village.

We had been exploring poetry from the book ‘Blethertoun Braes’ and decided to create our own ‘toun’ and unusual characters. We wrote character descriptions, including where they worked and lived. Have a look at ‘Nebbytoun’ below!

We have also been ‘keeping it Scots’ by learning about the legend that is Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Check in with us to see our beautiful art work!

Until next time…

Primary 1

In class, we have been reading Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted. In the story, Katie Morag throws away her teddy when she is angry. We made a poster to help find the lost teddy. We also wrote a description of Katie Morag. Here is Peyton’s description of Katie Morag:

Katie Morag has red hair. It is long and she has rosey cheeks and a jumper that is blue and white. She wears a kilt and a pair of welly boots. She is kind.

Primary 1/2

This week in Maths, P1/2 have been learning how to sort and display data. We learned how to count tally marks and record them on a table. We also used Carroll Diagrams to display data and worked as a group to create our own headings and categories for sorting objects.

We have also been learning about New Year resolutions. We shared our ideas for our own resolutions then drew and labelled our targets.

Happy New Year from Primary 1!

We are looking forward to learning lots in 2017. We have been finding out what New Year was like in different countries around the world and learned about what New Year’s Resolutions are. Some people in our class wanted to make one!

James: I want to get better at swimming.

Isla: I am going to start tidying my room.

Jack: I am going to help my Mum do the dishes.

It was announced that Rhona Ritchie, our outstanding and dedicated lollipop lady, has been awarded a British Empire Medal in the New Year’s Honours list.

What fantastic recognition of Rhona’s dedication to generations of Pupils from Pumpherston & Uphall Station over the last 40+ years.  Well done Rhona, we’re all very proud of you.

Primary 5

This week, Primary 5 were learning about Christmas customs from around the world.

We investigated customs from France, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Germany and Spain, then created posters to show what we had learned. Did you know that in Italy there is no Santa Claus, but a Kind Witch instead? And did you know that French children leave their shoes out on Christmas to be filled with presents?

Check out the posters we made below.

Until the next time (in 2017!)…

Christmas Sing-a-long

img_2696Tomorrow afternoon at 1:15 we celebrate our Christmas assembly. Pupils from P1-P7 will sing a selection of Christmas songs which I’m sure you’ll want to join in with, and we will be joined by our chaplain, Mr Povey.

Remember that it is ‘dress down for fun’ so no money is required. We look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow at 1:15.

P4 Christmas Song

As part of their final session with Miss Mulholland Primary 4 performed their Christmas song which demonstrated their learning of beat, rhythm and pitch and then they finished the session with some games which had everyone giggling and trying to keep up.  Thank you to Miss Mulholland, we have all learned so much and have a much better understanding of music now.
