Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As part of Fairtrade Fortnight our Pumphie Pals session today had a Fairtrade theme.
First of all the children sorted statements which represented Fairtrade values and those that didn’t.
Then they had a Fairtrade quiz.
Breich selected a Neon Party for receiving the most house points in term 2. Callum and Kamillia created a fin morning of musical status and bumps, greatest dancer and glow corners. Everyone also had fun dancing with their glow sticks. Thank you to all the P7s in Breich who helped to lead the party.
Congratulations Breich!

Our House and Vice Captains have created a house chant to say at assembly when they win the house points for the week, or term. They used our new green screen to record the videos and taught them to their Pumphie Pals group.

At Pumphie Pals we had a Santa Holiday Challenge:
As Almond received the most house points this term they organised a Pyjama Party to celebrate their success.
Jack and Lauren organised a range of party games, dancing and a shopping list of party food.
Congratulations to Almond on their success and to the P7s in Almond for organising and running the party.
Our Junior Leadership Teams (JLTs) are off to a flying start this term. Working in our JLTs helps us to live our values of positivity, understanding, support, confidence and success.
Each team met to discuss their plans for the year – these will soon be shared on each JLT’s notice boards within school.
