The leaflet describing the Families Learning Together – Sharing Learning programme for this year is now in the Our School – Useful Documents section of this blog. Â The first session is on Friday 7 October at 11am.
Help us communicate with you
On Tuesday we offered an information evening to find out how you can work with us to help your children learn. Â The class teachers also offered information on what and how they will be teaching this session, how you can help and how you can support at home.
Unfortunately the turnout was only 22%, Â the lowest we’ve ever had for an information evening. Â Naturally, we’re asking ourselves why.
We would greatly appreciate you taking 5 minutes to complete a short survey to help us understand why this evening was unsuccessful and how we can make changes in the future to better meet all of our needs.

Families Learning Together
We look forward to welcoming you this evening for our Families Learning Together evening. Â It’s quite a complicated evening to arrange as we have different messages to give to nursery, primary 1 and P2-P7. Â I have sent individual letters to each child explaining what is happening. Â In brief:
- Nursery have a presentation on Online Learning Journals in the hall at 6pm.
- P1 (from both classes) have a series of presentations starting at 6pm in the hall.
- P2-P7 have a presentation in the hall followed by a presentation in the classroom. Â These together take 30 minutes and are available at 6pm and 6:30pm.
- P2 pupils in the P2 class are offered the same two presentations but these are only available for this class at 6:30
We All Wear School Uniform at PUSCPS
School Uniform is an important part of our ethos and culture here at PUSCPS. Â Wearing the uniform confirms us as part of a team. Â It raises standards of behaviour and effort and limits opportunities for pupils comparing clothes which can lead to bullying. Â Please make sure your child is following the uniform policy:
- grey or black trousers or skirt,
- white polo shirt or a white shirt and tie,
- blue school sweatshirt or cardigan (black for P7)
- sensible shoes.Â
- appropriate jacket
- We discourage trainers.
- No high heals or open toed shoes allowed.
- Skirts of appropriate length
- No jeans, leggings or football colours.
- No make up or jewellery (simple stud earings are acceptable)
The grannie of one of our P3 pupils, Rosa, has made a school uniform for her bear – C-Star. Â So even the teddies can wear uniform.

Do you read this blog?
A warm welcome back to session 2016/2017. Â School begins for all pupils on Tuesday 23rd August and we look forward to seeing you all then.
We are interested in how many of our families access the information on this blog. Â We use it for information throughout the session and all classes post learning blogs. Â We would love to see more people posting comments on the blogs and engaging with the learning shown here.
If you read and use this blog, please let us know by commenting on this post – it will help us to know who is seeing our posts.
Many thanks.

Summer Holiday
School has now closed for the summer. Thank you for all your support this session. We will see all the pupils back on Tuesday 23 August.
Have a good summer.

Medication in school
All medication currently held in school must be collected from the office – by an adult – by tomorrow afternoon. Any remaining medication will be disposed of according to NHS guidelines.
Lunchtime on the field
Today the P5, P6 and P7 pupils had the choice to spend lunchtime on the field. Â They had great fun with all the extra space. Â They played football without getting in the way of others. Â They climbed the bank and played among the trees (and nettles!) and they climbed trees – safely. Â Mr Eagleson worked with the groups to chat about the dangers and how to keep themselves safe and we will continue these conversations as the good weather continues.
You can support us at home by discussing with your children how to keep safe by judging and managing risk. Â We reinforce that they should be in sight of an adult, never try to flip or “acrobat” jump down a hill. Only climb into trees as high as your shoulder is off the ground. Â We have established a border with the tree line at the top of the bank.
The Jungle Book
Tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) pupils will enjoy a stage production of ‘The Jungle Book’ in the school hall. Â This is a chance for pupils to be an audience and enjoy a theatre production. Â It is not a pupil production for parental attendance. We hope they all enjoy it – there is no charge for this – we will pay the cost from School Fund.
