A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This afternoon the PM nursery children went out to the local area for a walk. We talked about keeping safe, particularly when crossing the road. The children were able to say that they should look both ways for traffic. They demonstrated that they could cross the road safely with the support of an adult.
Today the AM nursery children investigated the frosty weather outside. They made snow angels in the frost and used snow shovels to collect the frost lying on the playground. Some of the children were interested in the ice and we talked about how the ice had formed.
This morning we had a festive start to our day with our traditional Christmas Sing a long. The Green Gang organised a Christmas Jumper day and we all joined together to remember The Christmas Story. Rev. Povey also joined us to share the Christmas message.
We announced the winners of the Festive Home Learning task, which you will see below. A big well done to everyone who took part.
Thank you to our P7 narrators and to Mrs Campbell for organising the service. Also thank to all of you who could join us.
I would like to thank the children, staff and parents for all making me feel so welcome at PUSCPS. I hope you all have a lovely family Christmas together and I look forward to seeing all the children when we return to school in the New Year.

A big well done to everyone who took part in the festive home learning task, the results are amazing! It is fantastic to see the efforts families have went to to complete the task.
I have really enjoyed speaking to the children about how they made their designs and what they used. We will share the results at the Sing-a-long tomorrow.
Many thanks to all parents and carers who came along to see our performance of ‘Whoops a Daisy Angel’. We hope you enjoyed watching and listening to the children. They were fantastic! Well done to them all.
The children in the nursery have been very busy practising their songs for the Singalong. They really enjoyed the experience of performing for parents and carers yesterday. Thank you to all who came along and we hope you enjoyed the their performance!
This week Primary 6 will receive the Deputy First Minister’s Maths Challenge.
All Primary 6 pupils across Scotland have been issued with the Deputy First Minister’s Maths Challenge. This is to provide some Christmas holiday maths family fun.
When you do complete one of the activities we would like you to share your answers with us on Twitter. To do this you need to create a Twitter account, take a photo of the completed activity and tweet it to us by typing @PUSCPS.
The solutions and workings will be published at https://blogs.gov.scot/making-maths-count on 4th January.
Good luck!
Primary 4 were very lucky to be the first class to welcome our visitors from the RSPB to our school.
We had lots of discussion about habitats and what we can do to help animals who want to live (or do live) in our school grounds.
We went on a walk around the school to look out for habitats which we have and we got to keep record of how many we have and how many points we scored.
Our school got 119 points and we were only missing 2 habitats! We were very proud of our score and really enjoyed being out to explore our school, even if it was very chilly!
Here are some photos of us all having fun:
Peppy our elf has been moving around our classroom a lot this week. We have found him hanging from the star, in our house points jar, in our Monday folder and hanging from the door. We were all very excited and we are happy to have him in our classroom.
This week we have also begun to learn a French song. It is called ‘Vive le Vent’ which is the French version of Jingle Bells! We worked out that it actually means ‘long live the wind’.
Jessica – “We were playing moneys with Mrs Struthers. We had to roll two dice and we were given amounts of money. The aim of the game was to collect more money than others”
Darcy – “We worked with Mrs Struthers to complete a maths workbook page. We did really well!”
Primary 4 also were given 12 drummers drumming and 4 calling birds to make for the hall decorations. We used paint and collage materials to create them and they look wonderful.
On Friday I visited P1S, P4 and P5 and children shared with me their table decorations. They described what they used and explained how they made them. A big thank you to all who took part, they look fantastic! I look forward to visiting more classes this week.
