Welcome to Primary 1 at PUSCPS! (Nursery Children)
This letter will be issued to our new Primary 1s this week!
We have been informed by pupil placement that you have a place in our school for Primary 1 – how exciting! We would like to welcome you and your family to Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community School.
The Primary 1 staff have made this Sway to give you a virtual tour of our school, if you click on the link you can see a Primary 1 classroom, our school building and most importantly – the staff who work in our school. If you are in our nursery, you might want to discuss the areas and people you already know.
We will match you up with a buddy who is currently in our Primary 6 class (moving into Primary 7). They will help you with finding your way, teaching you routines and being a listening ear. You will find out more about your buddy soon.
Transition into Primary 1 will be a little bit different this year. We have created a Sway that we will update each week with a transition activity. The Sway will ask you to complete an activity and either share a picture on your online journal or email to the school. We look forward to finding out more about you.
Your primary school years are some of the best years of your life and our staff are very excited to help you make those important memories. I will be making a phone call to you over the next few weeks but in the meantime if you wish to contact us, please email us: wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk

P7 Celebration Disco
We danced the night away at our Celebration Disco! The DJ played games and had us all dancing, he even had a foam machine and glow bracelets for us all.
Our Parent Partners created some Hawaiian themed treats and delivered our pizzas for us, a big thank you to them and to parents who donated some treats! Thank you to Uphall Station Gala Day for making a contribution towards the pizzas.
Surprise! Our surprise was an ice cream van and the response was, ‘But MIss Burton we have no money!’. Thank you to Pumpherston Community Council for paying for our ice creams and slushes. We loved this special treat.
We even had a Hawaiian themed cake! Thank you so much to Mrs Andison for baking it for us.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to organising our P7 Celebration Disco and to our teachers for coming along to celebrate with us.
Primary 7 Celebration Assembly: Class of 2019
Wow! Today we joined together to celebrate Primary 7s time at PUSCPS. The whole school joined together, along with their families and invited guests, including staff who previously worked at PUSCPS.

Primary 1 sang a buddy song to Primary 7 to thank them for being such supportive buddies. It was a lovely surprise!
In the style of Through the Keyhole, two teams had to use clues to guess the school year, the Primary 7s used memories, interesting facts about school and music as clues.
Primary 7 sang some songs, including this is me, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Miss Burton gave a speech, reminding us that our memories are our greatest treasure and surprised us with a video of our Primary 7 journey.

Mrs Andison shared a lovely poem and said some lovely words about our PUSCPS Journey. Mrs McConville thanked people who helped us along the way.
We had a huge surprise in store for the Primary 7 children and our whole school … A staff video!

You can tell by the photos that everyone was very surprised and found it very funny!
The school sang As We Go Now to our Primary 7s to wish them well.
Our Primary 7s shared their hopes for the future and what jobs they would like to be in the future.
We presented our Primary 7 children, with a certificate, their Year Book, tablet, a dictionary and their high school tie. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Parent Partner fundraising so we could gift these items to the children.
It was lovely that so many of our Primary 7 families could join us to celebrate.
A huge good luck to our Class of 2019 and we wish them well on their future adventures!
