A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS

We have been busy settling in to our new class, learning the school routines and getting to know our new teacher.
In class, we have spent time talking about how we can make our class a happy and safe place to learn and what our adults in school can do to help us.
Here are some photos of us busy in Primary 1 and of our Class Charter (Our Pinky Promise).
Primary 1 & Mrs Strachan😊
In Primary 3/2 we have been learning about our rights. We completed a needs and wants activity which helped us to understand the things we need to survive. This then linked into our understanding about the rights of the child. We worked together to pick the rights we felt best suited our class and then displayed them as part of our class charter. Everyone created a beautiful butterfly to show how we are all unique.
Primary 3/2 & Miss McGregor 🙂
Have a look at our super Class Charter. We worked together as a class to come up with a shared vision, pick the rights we felt were most important to us and decide what we expected ourselves and our teacher to do to help our classroom run smoothly. We look forward to learning together!
I have attached an update with our PE days and times for this term alongside some additional information to keep you updated on our focus for the first 2 weeks of term 1.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Hello Everyone, what a super start to the year we have had! Thank you all for your fantastic work today. Here is a reminder of our PE days and Outdoor Learning plan. I look forward to learning with you all this year! Miss Hall 🙂 
Last week in primary 4 we were learning about symmetry. We used our knowledge of symmetry to complete these fantastic self portraits. Well done primary 4 you’ve made me a very proud teacher, Miss McGregor 🙂
Primary 6 really enjoyed going outside in the nice weather to engage in some mindful drawing. They had a look at something of their choice and worked on their sketching skills to draw it. Some lovely results shown below.
 
P3 are learning to identify the characteristics of plants and animals. We searched for living things in our playground. 
Please view the photos below from Monday’s trip to the Museum of Scotland. #responsiblecitizens
We took our spelling outside this afternoon, competing in “Spelling races”
Each spelling group had to race up and be told a spelling word, race back and write their words down then repeat. Great fun!
