A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As Almond is the House Winner this term the house have decided on a Pyjama Party to celebrate their achievement. This will take place on Wednesday 10th October in the afternoon.  If your child is in Almond they can bring pyjamas/ onesie (please no football pyjamas) to school on Wednesday to change into for the party.
Today we celebrated all our achievements during Term 1 at assembly.

The P1 boys and girls has been very busy over the last 2 weeks settling into their new class. We have talked about some of the rights children have and shared  ideas on how we can have a happy, safe learning community.
We can earn Class Dojo points for our school House teams: Almond, Breich and Calder.
We can also fill ours and others buckets through positive  actions in school.
We will have some ‘Together Time’ each week to celebrate respecting our class promises!
Our primary 7 children have been working hard preparing their House Captain manifestos! We look forward to seeing the results at the House Election on Monday!
Good luck everyone!
