Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
P1 and P2/1 had some very exciting mail this week. We received our first postcard from our new Book Penpal, Sophie Ambrose! We loved reading about Albie, the warthog in her book ‘Bedtime for Albie. We even had a shot of becoming illustrators by drawing Albie. We hope you like our pictures. We will write you a postcard soon next week.
It’s not too late to take part – you can still send in your entry!
In this video, one of our Literacy Champions, Miss McLaughlin, explains how we use a resource called PM Writing to support with the teaching of writing. All classes across the school use this process to ensure consistency and progression in learning.

We still need a few more players in each class to join the leaderboard!
As part of their book focus the children are going to create their own fairy to take part in the Artemis Fowl book ‘Time to Believe’ which we are reading for their class novel.
LI: To develop our art skills
SC: I can…. draw in detail
I can…. experiment with colour
I can….. label correctly
The children were to draw a detailed picture of the fairy they would like to create. They were to experiment with a range of colours in their drawing to help to bring out their fairies features. Then they were to label their fairy to show what resources they would need to create a 3d model of their fairy.
We started with a general knowledge quiz, using one of our favourite apps – Kahoot!
Primary 7 decided if they wanted to work on their own, with a partner or in a small group. They also decided if they wanted to do a digital or paper presentation. They used a range of different devices to support their learning and presentation.
They researched by using links on their class team and searching Google to find the answers to the key questions.
They used their class Team to share their finished presentations – some are still a work in progress!
Here are some of the finished presentations:
