Christmas Raffle Winners
This year our Parent Partner Group organised a range of exciting prizes for our raffle. In order to raise more money for school funds we had raffle tickets on sale throughout the month of December. On the last day of term Mrs Cougan, Mrs Bonnar, members of the Parent Partners, our house and vice captains drew the winners. Children at the school were issued with the prizes and those winners unknown to the school were contacted.
A big thank you to everyone who donated prizes and to everyone who bought a ticket. You can find out the winners below.
PUSCPS Parent Partners Christmas Carolling
Visit from Almond Engineering and DYW
On Friday Michelle Quinn from Almond Enginnering joined us for our Celebration Assembly. Michelle shared her own personal journey of working hard at school, and then working her way up in Almond Engineering to become the first female Director.
Lauren from Developing the Young Workforce in West Lothian also joined Michelle. Before our assembly, they visited P3 to find out about their ‘Digital Me’ business plans and they were very impressed.
Michelle sent us the letter below, to say thank you, as she really enjoyed visiting our school.
We would like to thank both ladies for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit us.
Christmas Fayre 2018
On Friday we held our annual Christmas Fayre, organised by our Parent Partners. We started in the fayre in our PUSCPS tradition of the school choir singing.
All our classes, including Cosy Corner and Club Wild contributed to the fayre through their learning in enterprise. They also created posters to help advertise their products.
Some pupils even set up their own stalls.
Our Parent Partners set up a range of exciting and fun activities including a treasure hunt, guess the Legos, guess the reindeer birthday, refreshments, face painting and outdoor games.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our school fayre, whether it was donating something, helping to set up, visiting or helping out on the day, we really appreciate everyone’s support. Also thank you to our P6 and P7 helpers who suported the fayre on the day. There was a fun, festive community feel on the day.
A special thank you to our Parent Partners and staff, who helped to organise such a successful event to raise funds for our school. Mrs Thom is busy counting up the money and we will let you know the total as soon as possible.
The Christmas raffle tickets are on sale until the end of term.
Supporting Our Magale Partner School
In October, the Cromie’s went to visit our partner school in Magale. During their trip they were able to see the benefits of the money we as a school have raised to support the children at school in Magale.
They also exchanged some penpal letters our children wrote to them, and the children at the school replied to the letters.
Recently they sent out 3 million Ugandan Shillings, which is the equivalent of £630. This is an amazing donation from our community, thank you to our Global Gang who have organised our fundraising and to  everyone who has contributed.
Here are some photos of the children using some resources they have purchased – slates, chalk and supplementary reading books.
