Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This year we celebrated Halloween at school! Due to all the restrictions we thought it would be a good idea to celebrate with their class. Look at all the strange and scary creatures who arrived at school on Friday!
Thank you to everyone who donated.
We started with a general knowledge quiz, using one of our favourite apps – Kahoot!
Primary 7 decided if they wanted to work on their own, with a partner or in a small group. They also decided if they wanted to do a digital or paper presentation. They used a range of different devices to support their learning and presentation.
They researched by using links on their class team and searching Google to find the answers to the key questions.
They used their class Team to share their finished presentations – some are still a work in progress!
Here are some of the finished presentations:

Dear parent/ carer,
Please find attached a letter from West Lothian Council providing you information about schools in Tier 3.
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
It has been brought to our attention by a member of our Parent Partners that our school has an Easy Fundraising Account.
Easy fundraising turns your everyday online shopping into free donations for your favourite cause. How? Just start your online shopping first at easy fundraising, then shop as normal. Our retailers will then make a small donation to say “thank you”.
They have 3,771 retailers to choose from and so far we’ve raised over £28 million for thousands of community groups, schools, sports clubs, small and large charities across the UK. Easy!
The link for our school is:
https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/puscps/?q=pumph&cat=cause-autosuggest
You use this to create an account. Then every time you shop, if you log in through this website first the school receives a donation to our school funds without any cost to you.
We would appreciate it if as many families and friends could sign up to support us.
Our parent partners have created a Halloween Fun pack for children to complete and keep at home. They include lots of fun activities such as jokes, stories, colouring, word searches, etc.
There is a nursery – P3 version and P4-P7 one.
They will be on sale this week with a suggestion donation of 50p plus. The house and vice captains will visit the classes each day to sell them. Unfortunately we are unable to give change.
We would love for you to share some of the completed tasks either on Online learning journals, Seesaw or in the Home Learning channel on Teams.

Today Breich had a physically distanced house party to celebrate winning the term 1 house points. They played games and danced outside in their class bubbles. Our new outdoor loud speaker was a hit! They also received a treat bag and prizes for best dancer.
