A huge well done to our P7 pupils who took part in the 2019 Rotary quiz yesterday. They did a fantastic job representing our school.
Families Learning Together 3
We had a fantastic turn out for our third Families Learning Together session last week. Families joined their children so they could share their learning in their jotters so far this term. They also had the opportunities to give two stars and a wish about their learning. Thank you to everyone who made it along.
Thank you to our P7 Young Leaders who helped out at this event.

Feedback from our survey included:
What did you find out about your child’s learning that you did not already know?
- That they were doing human biology.
- My child knows more than he shows at home.
- I saw Didbook for the first time, it’s great.
- My child  is happy to accept help when offered
What other information would you like us to provide during Visit My Class sessions?
- Some feedback from teachers. I feel the gap is maybe a touch long between feedback sessions.
- If there is anything my child needs to improve on.
In what other ways can we support you to support your child at home?
Spring Home Learning Task

At our assembly on Friday, children who had completed reading challenges in our library received a certificate from Moira. Well done everyone!
West Lothian Burns Competition
On Wednesday night, our five finalists from our Burns Assembly joined other children from schools across West Lothian  to compete in the recital competition.Â
Our children did a fantastic job of representing their classes at the competition, a big well done to them all and their families for joining them at the competition.
A special congratulations to Jacob who came runner up in the P1-3 section.
We recognised this achievement at assembly on Friday.
Repost: Learning & Teaching at PUSCPS Event
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.
Pumphie Pals: Fairtrade
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.
P6 Euro 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!
