A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Today Primary 6 received some First Aid training to support them with their new Responsible Roles in August. The training developed their awareness of First Aid issues in the playground and in real life. They now are more informed about the role of the PSW First Aiders in the playground.
Thank you to Stefan from Albacare who worked with our P6 pupils.
This week our Primary 6s went through Peer Mediation training with Amanda and Sarah from Scottish Mediation. They went through a range of activities exploring what mediation means and the processes that are involved in peer mediation.
Sarah and Amanda said:
”We had such a great time with the group of pupils, who were really focused on the task and a pleasure to work with … you will have a great team of magic mediators. Both Amanda and I would like to thank yourself and your staff for helping us and making us fell very welcome over the two days. Your school is a delight to work with.”
Some of P6 children will be Magical Mediators in the playground next session as part of our Responsible Roles programme.
Congratulations to Primary 6!
This morning we welcomed Amanda and Sarah from Scottish Mediation to train all our Primary 6 pupils on how to use Peer Mediation. Although specific Primary 6 children have been selected to be a Magical Mediator next session, we recognised that these are imported life skills and invited all our P6 children to attend the training.
Some of our P5 children had an idea to run a Harry Potter Lunch Time Club. They made a plan of what they would do, collected the resources they needed and made up a register.
This week the focus was on creating a wand and everyone who came along said they really enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next session.
At our Pumphie Pals session this morning we used How Good is our School to create key questions to help us reflect on our year. We then used this time to answer the questions reflecting on what went well and how we could be even better.
This information will be collated along with our staff and parent/ carers views to help form our priorities for next session.
As part of developing independence and responsibility with our senior pupils we are asking the Primary 6s as they enter into Primary 7 to apply for a Responsible Role in the playground. They will have the opportunity to apply for a post over the next week in class. Below is a description of the different jobs.
As Calder received the most Dojos last term, they requested a pyjama party. Jessica and Katie organised a range of games, pyjama corners, pass the pillow, stuff the pillow and bed sheet parachute games. We also had lots of nice treats for snacks. Thank you to all the Primary 7 Young Leaders who helped to organised the party.
Dear parent/ carer,
Calder House Party
As Calder was the House Winner last term, we have organised a ‘Pyjama Party’ for the children in Calder on Friday 13th April. If your child is in Calder they can bring pyjamas/ onesie (please no football pyjamas) to school on Friday to change into for the party.
Kind regards,
Jessica and Katie
House and Vice Captain
This week our P7s took part in the Rotary Club of Livingston’s Quiz. There was steep competition against Uphall and Broxburn Primary.
Thank you to the Rotary Club for organising this experience for us and a big well done to our team.
Thank you to our Vice Captains for welcoming our guests.
On Monday 12th March Miai and Jessica, two of our house captains in P7 joined our other cluster schools to attend the Commonwealth Games Ceremony at Westminster in London.
Thank you to Broxburn Academy for inviting us along and a special thank you to Ms Henderson (Head Teacher at Kirkhill Primary) and Mrs Fawkes (Head Teacher at Uphall Primary School) for putting together such an exciting programme of events for the children and for looking after our girls. This is definitely something they will remember for many years to come.
