Pumphie Pals: Digital Learning
Today at Pumphie Pals we discussed four different questions:
- What is technology?
- How do we use technology at school?
- How do we use technology at home?
- What other ways could we use technology to help us learn?
Our Digital Directors will use this information to help their Junior Leadership Team.
JRSOs
Today the JRSO junior leadership went for a walk to identify safe and unsafe places to park your car.
They made a video from the school gate to the football ground car park, to show that it is a safe place to park and then walk to school.

Harvest Assembly
This morning we had our annual harvest assembly. We were joined by our special guest, Mr Povey, who told us a story about the true meaning of harvest time.
P5 were excellent, telling the whole school and our parents/carers all about when and why we celebrate at this time. Club Wild also presented and shared their learning with us and had lots of fresh vegetables to sell.
A huge thank you to all of our pupils, parents and carers for donating so generously to our West Lothian Food Bank collection. We hope to continue supporting this very worthy charity throughout the year.
Creative Music Making
Primary 6 and 7 ended their Creative Music Making workshops by attending a concert at Howden Park Centre. Olly, Owen and friends entertained us with their musical talents and some of our children joined them on stage.
Thank you to Olly and Owen for this opportunity.

Club Wild – Autumn Treasure Hunt
We have been out exploring the grounds around the school looking for clues that mother nature leaves us.. telling us that change is on its way, Autumn is here!
Twigs and leaves, fruits and seeds are all falling to the ground as the stronger winds shake the trees. Birds, squirrels and other animals are busy collecting fruits and nuts to store through the winter. We didn’t see any squirrels but we know they are there. Under the pine trees we found pines cones nibbled by the squirrels as they collect the seeds.
Looking up and down we found all the things on our list. Will you find them too?
Join us for more autumn adventures soon.
