P7 Responsible Roles
Primary 7 were super excited to find out their new Responsible Roles today! Although the roles may look a bit different this year, they still have an important leadership role to play in our school.
During school closures they completed an online form job application to apply for the role they would like to be considered for, stating the reasons why.
Their Responsible Roles in the playground  are:
- Magical Mediators
-
Playful Pals
-
Safe Security
The children will start their rota on Monday supporting P1 and 2. We will establish new job descriptions to keep everyone safe and keep to our class bubbles.
Happy Retirement Mrs Ness!
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.
Nursery Class of 2020!
It was a double celebration for our new Primary 1s last week.
They said goodbye to their nursery staff and received their nursery scroll and gift.
Then the had the opportunity to visit their Primary 1 classroom and meet their new teachers! They also received a gift from them to say we would be thinking of them over the summer.
A big welcome to our New P1s from everyone at PUSCPS!
Happy Retirement Mrs Thom
Parent Consultations
Dear parent/ carer,
Following West Lothian advice we are cancelling our Parent Consultations next week.
Instead of the face to face meeting, we will provide an overview of learning that the children have experienced in term 3. If you have any specific questions about your child you will be able to email the school. This overview will be issued prior to the Easter holidays, and staff will follow up on any questions or concerns you may have after that.
Thank you for continuing to support and work with us during this time.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
