P5 & P6 micro:bit Summer Coding Project

The micro:bit is a tiny computer that makes coding tangible and promotes digital creativity.

We have a limited number of micro:bits in school for current P5 and P6 pupils to take part in an independent summer project exploring how they work.

The micro:bits can connect to a PC using a USB cable or ipad using the free ‘micro:bit’ app.

You will be provided with a micro:bit kit and access to online links and tutorial to support your learning.

Please see the form below for more information and to sign up.

Repost: Learning & Teaching at PUSCPS Event

A reminder, that we warmly invite you to come along and join us at our learning and teaching evening.

We often hear from our families, what does learning look like at PUSCPS and what are the school’s priorities.

Come along and find out from staff and children in an informal way what we have been focusing on this year!

We will even provide you with a wee tea or coffee. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening.

Those parent/ carers with an IDL invite will also be able to attend a workshop on this evening.
