PUSCPS World Book Day
Virtual Ethos – 19/02/18
Assembly – Celebrating Our Uniqueness
Today at assembly we celebrated how we are all unique and that we should respect everyone for their uniqueness. We watched a video which made us think about we accept others for who they are.
Congratulations to Primary 3, who have completed their Fun Start Sessions with Broxburn United, and a big thank you to the team there for delivering the sessions.
A big well done to all our children this week who have been Living Our Values.
The House Points for the term so far are …
Scottish Book Trust Bookbug visits nursery
The nursery children enjoyed their ‘Bookbug’ day yesterday. They sang songs, played a singing game and Mrs Dickie read them a story. Afterwards the children had a special visitor from the Scottish Book Trust – Bookbug himself came to visit. The children then received their book bug bags to take home and enjoy reading with an adult.
Celebrating Scotland and Burns!
AM and PM nursery classes celebrated Scotland and Burns last week. We sang Scottish songs and poems and talked about what we knew about Scotland. We looked together at Scottish items and photographs. On Burn’s Day we had a Burns supper for snack and the children had the opportunity to taste haggis, neeps and tatties and dance to Scottish music.
West Lothian Courier
This week our school featured in the West Lothian Courier.
Our Scots Assembly
Scots Celebration Assembly
Today we held our traditional Scots Assembly to celebrate Scots and Burns. We invited our grandparents along to share this special celebration with us.
Our nursery am children joined us at the assembly to sing some songs and pm children sent us some videos to share.
Over the past few weeks we have been learning Scots and Burns poems and each class selected 2 pupils to present at today’s assembly. On Monday we will find out the names of the pupil at each stage who will now go through to the West Lothian Burns Competition. The Vice Captains and Mrs Dickie were a tough judging panel to impress!
Primary 6 have been learning Scottish Dancing in P.E. and their class selected a group of pupils to share their dance a our assembly.
We all took part in a Scottish sing song sharing the songs we have been learning.
A big thank you to Mrs Campbell and Mrs Dickie for organising the assembly, and to everyone who came along to help us celebrate.
Inspection Celebration Assembly
This morning we welcomed children, staff, parents and carers, and friends of PUSCPS to join us to celebrate our recent inspection findings. It was lovely to welcome back Mr Eagleson for the occasion.
Our house and vice captains led the assembly and we joined together to sing some of our favourite songs:
- Our School Song
- You are a Star
- and a new song that we have been learning Glorious
They also shared with us our school and nursery gradings.
Miss Burton shared a few words about our school and Mrs Dickie shared a few words about our nursery. We also watched some videos that we made this week which share why we are so proud of our school.
We even had a special school cake – which we really enjoyed eating (shhhh … don’t tell our parents/ carers!).
Thank you to everyone who came along to join our celebration.
