Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
One of our Community partners, Broxburn United Sports Club have recently started an online newsletter which will be released on the 1st of each month.
This will bring you the latest news and information with what’s going on down at BUSC.
They will have everything from latest news, new programmes, community work and much more.
Please check out the link below if you would like to sign up for these regular updates.
A gentle reminder that all Primary 1 -7 children are welcome to join us for Breakfast Club each morning. It starts at 8:10am,we would request that you do not send your children prior to this time as they will have to wait outside unsupervised. The doors to Breakfast Club close at 8:30am, so please ensure your child arrives before then.
Just now we are having a go at making phone cases, scarves, fingerless gloves and pom poms. Look out for the things we have been making on sale at the Christmas Fair.
Sarah-Jane and Miss Burton attended the West Lothian Council Gardening Awards on Friday 25th October. Our school received two awards:
We received the beautiful plaque below and a gift voucher.
These awards for a fantastic recognition for all the work Sarah-Jane and our Gardening Club have done in the past year.
Our basketball team recently won the White B Conference as part of the West Lothian Wolves Primary School league.
Our basketball team was a new addition to the school this year. These children give up their lunch times, after school and Friday afternoons to train and attend league games.
We are very proud of their perseverance, determination and grit in order to win their league.
To recognise this huge achievement, today we treated them to a pizza party! They enjoyed pizza, team chat and watching some NBA games.
A big thank you to their Coach, Mrs Hamilton who has been an inspirational and motivational coach for our team, and also to the children’s families for supporting them by taking them to the games.
Best of luck for your games on Friday!
As part of National Digital Learning Week staff offered some lunchtime clubs.
P1-3 had the option to attend an apps club. They had a tinker with the different apps we have available and a play with the green screen.
P4-7 could attend a Glow workshop. They decided they would have a play with forms and make an online quiz, or Sway and make a presentation about something they were interested in. Both groups tinkered with the software and supported each other with using the different features.
Our amazing Basketball Team took part in the West Lothian Wolves schools tournament on Friday. They won 4 games out of 5! A big congratulations to our fantastic team, we are very proud of you!
Here is a video of our team at training today.

Active School Coordinators have been working closely with the school to put on after school clubs that the pupils would like to attend. There were five different clubs offered in term one which led to 33% of the school roll taking part in a sporting extra-curricular club. This is a fantastic jump from the 18% of the school roll that took part in term one in 2017.
Again this term there will be a range of clubs on offer which started last week. These include multi-sports, dance and football. There are still spaces available in all clubs so if you would like a space speak to your teacher.
If there are any clubs you would be interested in seeing running please get in touch and Active Schools will try to help.
