Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Over the last few weeks the nursery children have been learning about keeping themselves safe. We initially began to talk about keeping ourselves safe at home, using talking boxes and photographs. Over the last couple of weeks we have moved on to keeping ourselves safe outside. We have used the ‘Let’s go safe with Ziggy!’ resource, a set of stories and videos which help us to learn about keeping safe in the car, and crossing the road.
At Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary School, we are beginning to organise our Developing the Young Workforce Week on 22nd – 25th May 2018. Last year we had great support from our school community. This year again we are asking if any parents, carers or members of our community can support this valuable learning opportunity for our children, as we really need your support for this week to a success. If you can offer some of your time to come into school or make a video about your job or interest can you please fill out the form below.

We used some of our PEF Funding to fund an Early Engagement teacher. Mrs Dickie was recently invited along to the West Lothian PEF Conference to share the impact of this role with colleagues across West Lothian.

A big thank you to Mrs Campbell and Mrs Dickie for organising the Service, and to the Rev. Povey for joining us. We all hope you have a lovely Easter holiday.
