Sharing Our Digital Learning
As part of Digital Learning Week we invited our families to join us for some digital learning. Thank you to everyone who came along and joined us.
Digital Learning Week Assembly
Part of our improvement plan for this session was digital learning, so we used digital learning week to showcase our new skills and equipment. Today we had an assembly to celebrate our achievements!
Thank you to Shona from Sky who came along and shared her digital journey with us, reminding us that their are lots of careers for girls and boys in computing.
Thank you to our Digital Directors for presenting at assembly.
Here is some of the learning we shared.

Pumphie Pals Self Evaluation
We started our session by playing a community builder and some of the pre-school children from our nursery joined us, as part of their transition.
On Friday our Pumphie Pals groups used How Good is OUR Good to self evaluation our improvements journey. Each group had one of the areas to evaluate:
- Our relationships
- Our learning and teaching
- Our school and community
- Our health and wellbeing
- Our success and achievements
The groups sorted statements into agree, not sure and disagree.
National Digital Learning Week
Stellar Young Writer Award
Today at assembly we launched a whole school competition for the West Lothian Stellar Young Writer Award. Over the next few weeks children will have the opportunity to complete a piece of writing for the competition.
Big Spring Clean
Well done everyone for putting in a fantastic effort for our Big Spring Clean this afternoon! P1 – P6 did a great job of cleaning up our school grounds and the surrounding local area in a safe and responsible way. Thank you very much to our many parent helpers for getting involved too.
Classes also attended an assembly run by David and Alan, Education Officers from Cleaner Communities, which taught us about the impact that litter can have on the environment. Did you know that West Lothian Council spends almost £3 million a year on cleaning up litter? Just think what else that money could be put towards if we all did our part in reducing litter!
Thank you to the members of our Green Gang Junior Leadership Team for their work in organising this event. Keep up the hard work in making Pumpherston and Uphall Station a cleaner and safer place!

Calder Neon House Party
Calder selected a Neon Party for receiving the most house points in term 3. Andrew and Charlie created a fun morning of musical bumps, greatest dancer and glow corners. Everyone also had fun dancing with their glow sticks. Thank you to all the P7s in Calder who helped to lead the party.
Congratulations Calder!
Movies for Magale
On our last day of term Mrs Strachan and the Global Group organised a Movies for Magale Day. Children could opt into a movie they wanted to watch and also dress down in their own clothes.
We raised an amazing £200 for our partner school in Magale. A big well done to the Global Group and to everyone who donated.
