A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
A reminder that our Parent Partners fundraising meeting starts tonight at 6:30pm.
Well done to Primary 6 who today presented to Primary 5 to explain what life has been like for them as Primary 6 pupils! They worked in teams to use resources, discuss, brainstorm and collect ideas, before planning their presentations. They presented on the expectations, routines, responsibilities, learning experiences and ‘magic moments’ of Primary 6. By doing this, P6 were learning to help encourage learning and confidence in our P5 children, as well as supporting them as they prepare for their next stage at school. The children from Primary 5 were all very interested and asked lots of questions about life in Primary 6! Well done P6, it was a really excellent presentation.
Tonight we welcomed our new P1 families to find out more about life at PUSCPS and in P1.

Meet the Teacher (for pupils) and Dine Together:
On Tuesday 19th June at 11:00-12pm we invite all our pre-school pupils to meet their new teacher and class. During this time you are invited to stay for tea and coffee and get to know the other P1 parents. If your child is currently in the morning Nursery we will take them over to their P1 classroom. If they are currently an afternoon child you will have to make arrangements for them to be at school by 11am. Following this you will have the opportunity to sample a school lunch with your child (from 12:00pm-12:30pm). A lunch order form and more information will be given out at the induction evening.
It’s that time of year when we start thinking about moving on. Our Primary 7 and pre-school children have already started their transition journey over the past few weeks and months.
Transition Challenge
As part of Health Week, P1 – P7 have been set a transition challenge to teach the new children coming into their stage about their learning, achievements and events this year.
Here is an example of the P7 challenge:
Here are the P6s hard work completing the challenge:
Watch this space for the final results!
Moving up MorningÂ
On the 19th June we will have our moving up afternoon when our children will have the opportunity to meet their new teachers.
Class Structure
Currently our class structure for next session is:
*This is our current structure, however we are still awaiting our final numbers for Primary 1, so this may be subject to change if our numbers increase.Â
Have a look at our Nursery to Primary 1 Transition Sway. It gives your child lots of information about the school, including their P1 classroom and some of the people they will meet.
