Primary 1 – A new and exciting beginning!

Primary 1 had a great first day today.  They all settled well and were ready to begin their school  journey.  The children made lots of choices during our ‘Play and Learn’ times.  We read a story together and talked about the meanings of words and travelling safely.  The buddies were fantastic!  They came to the class to help the children get ready for both break time and lunch time and at the end of the school day.  At lunchtime the children  sat in the lunch hall and shared time with their buddy, returning to the playground for a run around and a time to explore.

After lunch the children returned to the classroom and we  investigated mark making using chalk boards, we developed our  scissor skills and  created a  ‘This is me on my first day at school’ line drawing .  At the end of the day we were joined by our buddies again who walked with us on our first Primary 1  Daily Mile around the school.  Well done!

P7 Leavers’ Assembly

This morning the whole school along with the P7 parents and carers celebrated our P7s. The children sang, danced and shared memories. They also had an awards ceremony receiving their mugs, certificates, high school tie, tablet and year book. Mr Povey came along and shared some words with the children and gave them each a bible.

Thanks to the Parent Partner Group and our staff for organising all the gifts for our Primary 7 children.

At the ceremony I reminded them of the messages from our NED Show:

  • Never give up!
  • Encourage others!
  • Do your best!

I also shared with them that I would like them to remember to ‘Be the difference!’ as they move to high school and into adulthood.

Thank you to all our partners who have worked wth Primary 7 over the years, it was lovely to see so many of you today, and it was great that Mr Eagleson could join us.

Everyone at Team PUSCPS would like to wish our Primary 7 children all the luck and happiness for their futures, and a thank you to their parents for the support they have given the school over the years.

P6 Peer Mediation Training

On Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th June Primary 6 took part in  Peer Mediation training.  Sarah and Amanda came from Scottish Mediation and led us in our learning of the mediation process.  The days began with some simple games which were enjoyed by all and then we began to break down and role play mediation situations.

We learned that we were the mediators and the people who came to mediation were disputants.  There were rules for the mediators and for the disputants to help the process run smoothly.  Primary 6 developed their questioning skills and their ability to help the disputants to come to a resolution, most of the time.  They also learnt that sometimes they may not be able to help the disputants to resolve the situation and that is OK too.  One important rule was that mediators are not allowed to offer a solution,  everyone agreed that this is very difficult sometimes.

Primary 6 enjoyed developing their mediation skills and were able to demonstrate this through their role play.

Primary 1 Transition Challenge

P1 met with the nursery children to share information about life in P1.  They had drawn pictures and recorded their voices using an app called ‘Our Story’.  Unfortunately, it can only be played on Ipads so we have uploaded the pictures without the audio for you to enjoy.  The nursery children asked some really good questions about P1 and were particularly interested in the big playground.

We are looking forward to seeing you in the playground in August nursery boys and girls!

Primary 1 🙂
