A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Have a look at our video below to see our learning during Maths Week Scotland.
Our House and Vice Captains set a Maths Weeks Scotland Poster Challenge, the winning designs are below.
We took part in the National Maths Week Sumdog Competition.
Some of children completed all 1000 questions! Primary 3 scored the highest for the school, and Tyler came 207th out of almost 75000 pupils.
Thank you to our Sumdog ambassadors for giving out the awards!
Some of our Pupil Council had the opportunity to visit Kirkhill Primary and watch their production of Annie. They really enjoyed the experience and thought the show was excellent! Miss Burton also received an email from Miss McLaren, the Head Teacher at Kirkhill to say:
‘Your kids who came to the show were amazing … their behaviour and manners were exemplary and were an absolute joy to have in the school. I hope they enjoyed it.’.
Our Junior Leadership Teams (JLTs) are off to a flying start this term. Working in our JLTs helps us to live our values of positivity, understanding, support, confidence and success.
Each team met to discuss their plans for the year – these will soon be shared on each JLT’s notice boards within school.
