Sarah-Jane and her family took park in the Big Butterfly Count in our school gardens. They counted 7 small and 3 large white, 3 painted lady, red admiral and 3 small tortoiseshell butterflies in 15 mins.
Nursery Start Dates
It was lovely to meet so many of our August intake of nursery children at our Induction Evening, home visits and stay and plays. At this time you will have discussed with the nursery staff when your children is starting.
If you missed these events, or were offered a nursery place for August at the end of June/July we are holding an information session on Tuesday 20th August at 3pm. This will give you an opportunity to visit the nursery and find out a bit more information.
If your child is starting after August we will be in touch with you before their third birthday.
You can find more information here:
We look forward to welcoming you all to our PUSCPS family.

Dress Down Day Dates
Please find below the provisional dates for our dress down days for Primary 1-7.
Like last year, the dress down days do not always fall on the last Friday of every month or the last day of each term. Instead the dates reflect events that are happening in school.
If your child would like to take part in the fundraising dress down days we would ask that they please bring a donation. We will also be running house competitions to see which house can raise the most money.
Thank you in advance for supporting these charities and helping with raising money for school funds.

P7 Celebration Disco
We danced the night away at our Celebration Disco! The DJ played games and had us all dancing, he even had a foam machine and glow bracelets for us all.
Our Parent Partners created some Hawaiian themed treats and delivered our pizzas for us, a big thank you to them and to parents who donated some treats! Thank you to Uphall Station Gala Day for making a contribution towards the pizzas.
Surprise! Our surprise was an ice cream van and the response was, ‘But MIss Burton we have no money!’. Thank you to Pumpherston Community Council for paying for our ice creams and slushes. We loved this special treat.
We even had a Hawaiian themed cake! Thank you so much to Mrs Andison for baking it for us.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to organising our P7 Celebration Disco and to our teachers for coming along to celebrate with us.

Primary 1 sang a buddy song to Primary 7 to thank them for being such supportive buddies. It was a lovely surprise!
In the style of Through the Keyhole, two teams had to use clues to guess the school year, the Primary 7s used memories, interesting facts about school and music as clues.
Primary 7 sang some songs, including this is me, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Miss Burton gave a speech, reminding us that our memories are our greatest treasure and surprised us with a video of our Primary 7 journey.

You can tell by the photos that everyone was very surprised and found it very funny!
The school sang As We Go Now to our Primary 7s to wish them well.
Our Primary 7s shared their hopes for the future and what jobs they would like to be in the future.
We presented our Primary 7 children, with a certificate, their Year Book, tablet, a dictionary and their high school tie. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Parent Partner fundraising so we could gift these items to the children.
It was lovely that so many of our Primary 7 families could join us to celebrate.
A huge good luck to our Class of 2019 and we wish them well on their future adventures!
