Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 7 used Kahoot to assess their knowledge of Fairtrade, following our Pumphie Pals meeting on Friday. Kahoot is an app/ website that allows the children to interact with questions on the board using the iPads. We were very impressed with how accurately they could answer the questions. You can see from their faces how engaged they were!
A reminder, that we warmly invite you to come along and join us at our learning and teaching evening.
We often hear from our families, what does learning look like at PUSCPS and what are the school’s priorities.
Come along and find out from staff and children in an informal way what we have been focusing on this year!
We will even provide you with a wee tea or coffee. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening.
Those parent/ carers with an IDL invite will also be able to attend a workshop on this evening.
Today we had Fun Time Friday. Fun Time Friday is an opportunity for all our children to select an activity that they are interested in and take part in it with peers across different classes. We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.
As part of Fairtrade Fortnight our Pumphie Pals session today had a Fairtrade theme.
First of all the children sorted statements which represented Fairtrade values and those that didn’t.
Then they had a Fairtrade quiz.
Four of our Primary 6s joined schools across West Lothian at Howden Park this morning where they took part in the West Lothian heats of the Scottish European Educational Trust Euroquiz 2019. We were so impressed with how much of their own time they had used to learn about Europe. They answered four rounds of questions – geography, languages, European union and culture/sport/history of Europe. A big congratulations to our team!

Today the NSPCC visited our school to share the message of Speak Out, Stay Safe with our children. They all shared the importance of having trusted adults to talk to. P1-3 and P4-7 took part in an assembly.
Primary 6 and 7 participated in workshops further exploring the messages delivered in the assembly by discussing different scenarios.
Primary 7 further explored this by using the kids section on the Childline website:Â https://www.childline.org.uk/kids
