On Friday we had our end of term Celebration Assembly.

We acknowledged our Awesome Authors, those children who have made excellent progress or achievements within writing.

We also recognised our STEM Superstars, those children who have made excellent progress or achievements within Science, Technologies or Maths.

We recognised our P6 and 7 children who helped out at our recent parent consultations.

We found out that our school has received the Silver Sports Scotland Award. A huge congratulations to our Sports Stars and Mrs McConville.

Our House and Vice Captains set a Maths Weeks Scotland Poster Challenge, and the winners received a prize!

We took part in the National Maths Week Sumdog Competition. Some of children completed all 1000 questions! Primary 3 scored the highest for the school, and Tyler came 207th out of almost 75000 pupils.

Thank you to our Sumdog reps who reminded up about the competition!

We watched a video that showed us all about our learning during Maths Week Scotland.

Values Refresh

At our parent consultations, please visit the hall where we would like families to contribute to our Values Refresh! Have a look and reflect on:

What are our core values?
What do we want our children/ school community to be like?
What values are central to our school?

We will collect your ideas at the parent consultations this week. If you would like to offer some further suggests, please add them as a comment to this blog post.

1 Plus 2 Languages Support

At Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS, one of the priorities on our School Improvement Plan this session is the 1 Plus 2 modern languages agenda.

Children are taught French from Nursery to Primary 7. This year we want to extend this by introducing another language or culture in an informal way. Our Parent Partners thought that some families within our school and community could support us! If you can help us, for example a workshop with a class, a club or ongoing support, please fill out the form below.

Thanks in advance.
