P6 and P7 Helpers @ Parent Consultations

It has been lovely catching up with parents and carers at our parent consultations this week. There was a great buzz across the school and lots of learning conversations.

A big thank you to our Primary 6 and 7 helpers for keeping the consultations running smoothly. We really appreciate them giving up their time to help us.

The book fair will be in school until Tuesday if you still would like to purchase a book. A percentage of profits made will enable the school to purchase new books.

One of our P7s even decided to make their own movie!

We had a fantastic turn out for our third Families Learning Together session last week. Families joined their children so they could share their learning in their jotters so far this term. They also had the opportunities to give two stars and a wish about their learning. Thank you to everyone who made it along.

Thank you to our P7 Young Leaders who helped out at this event.

Pumphie Pals: British Science Week: STEM

The first thing we did at Pumphie Pals was to identify which jobs and careers require skills and knowledge for each of the STEM areas.

Then we used information from British Science Week to have our own paper planes competition.

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.

Primary 2S takes the mail!

Primary 2S had a very responsible job today! They had to go to the Scotmid post office to send the school’s pen pal letters to Magale school in Uganda. We hope to hear back from Magale school soon.

As we have been learning about food that is good for us in class, we decided to buy a healthy apple when we were there. We had this for an afternoon snack after our busy writing lesson.
