Update Raffle Prizes
PUSCPS Christmas Raffle 2020
Dear Sir or Madam,
Christmas will look little bit different this year but we would still like to have our normal Christmas Raffle to raise money for school funds.
We are hoping for some support from local business to help us with this fundraising event for our school in the hope that we can still continue to fundraise for our school, even in these unprecedented times.
We have a raffle each year we ask for donations for the prizes. As your organisation is part of our local community we hope that you are in a position to donate an item for the raffle to support the work of your local community school.
We realise in this financial climate that any donation you feel able to give is very generous and would be greatly appreciated by us all; pupils, parents and staff.
If you can make a donation, please contact the school on 01506 280995 or email our parent partner group at puscps.ps@gmail.com and we will make arrangements.
Thank you in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Burton

Pump Track
West Lothian Council have alerted us that children and young people using the Pump Track have been digging up the surrounding area to try and make the ramps bigger. Obviously this is a health and safety risk as the Pump Track has been specially designed. If your child uses the Pump Track can you please discuss this with them.
Community Library Opening Hours
Veolia Poetry Competition
Some of pupils entered the Veolia Poetry Competition about looking after the planet. Congratulations to Ola who won the competition! Amazing news and fantastic feedback.
Other children who entered the competition had fantastic feedback too! Well done to everyone who entered!
P5 – Connor – This was so close to being our winner, because of the fantastic words used in rhyming, the great local knowledge of the ‘gardyloo’, and the powerful message of ‘one planet-one Scotland’ which captures the global action needed to combat climate change.
P4 – Finlay –Â Loved how this poem had such a direct call to action- to mobilise people and that it used fantastic repetition. We hope people will do exactly as Finlay asks.
P4 – Jack – This was one of the most original poem entries we had. We loved how Jack managed to make a coral reef sound even more amazing, buy using the whole poem as a metaphor for baking a cake (at least we though cake- others may have thought of other food). It made all of the colours in a reef stand out in out imaginations even more.
P4 – Ruby – This poem had great rhyming and we really liked how Ruby, made us think of the Ocean as a home, rather than just a big pool of water for animals in it. It made the reader even more keen to protect it.
P4 – Sophie Rose –The descriptive language in this poem was the best we have seen from any of our entries. It was so good, it didn’t need the pictures. The language made you imagine all of these horrible scenes happening to Sloths and their environments and really made the reader feel how powerless they are without our support. This poem was also one of the saddest we received. This is not a criticism, it is just testament to well Sophie Rose described a very sad situation.
P4 – Sorley – We loved how Sorley, spelt the word environment using each line of the poem, and we loved how the T at the end was a message that working together we can solve this issue. Sorley also showed great knowledge from renewable energy to melting ice caps.
P4 – Anastacia – We liked that this poem had great use of rhyming. We also really liked the simile about polar bears, and the metaphor about polar bears needing ice to fight climate change. There was a good use of onomatopoeia. We found this a powerful poem.
