FANTASTICALLY Generous Foodbank Donations
WOW!  We are so proud of our communities for the huge amount of food that has been donated for the West Lothian foodbank.  These very generous donations show how warm and caring a pair of communities we have here in Pumpherston and Uphall Station.  Thank you.  We will be sharing this warm community spirit this afternoon at our Harvest Assembly – 2:15pm  – we look forward to seeing you there if you can make it.

Thinking Back Looking Forward Pupil Profiles – P2-P7
Today pupils in P2 – P7Â will bring home their THINKING BACK LOOKING FORWARDÂ profile for this term. Â Â This is a profile of what your child sees as their progress in learning so far this session and also includes a summary of the pupils’ current strengths and next steps from the class teacher. Â Pupils in nursery and P1 will have learning to share through the Online Learning Journals system.
This is a new approach to reporting to parents for us this term and – as discussed in September’s newsletter – it forms a part of our FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER – SHARING LEARNING programme which we are developing this session.
We hope you find these new mid-year profiles more useful that the old-format final report in June. Â Please bring your copy along to your appointment on Wednesday or Thursday evening and you can discuss it with the teacher then. Â All pupils took home an appointment slip for parent appointments on Friday – if you don’t have yours – please call the office.

Watch the video of our first Families Learning Together session
Our first Families Learning Together session was a great success with a fantastic turnout.
There was a real buzz in the room and everyone loved having the chance to spend time talking to their child about learning.
Look out for the next session at 2pm on 16 November.

Families Learning Together – Sharing Learning with P2-P7
Remember our first Sharing Learning drop-in is tomorrow from 11am 12pm. Â You will have a chance to speak with your child about their learning and look at the work they are producing. Â The help sheet below will be available to help you get the most from your session.
It has questions you might ask and ideas for recording in the child’s work your comments on the learning.
If you have not already returned the slip from the invite please do so ASAP so that we know who to expect at 11am – especially if the person attending is not someone we already know. Alternatively you could call or send in a note.
