Arrangements for Monday
Good evening all,
As you will know by now our school and nursery are open on Monday 5th March.
On Monday breakfast club will be closed. There will be no milk available and pack lunch menus may vary from what has been planned.
Pupils should enter through the main school entrance, as close to 8:50am as possible.
Please take care when using the turning circle, as there are limited drop off spaces.
The main footpath to the school entrance is clear.
We will monitor the situation throughout the day and groupcall you about pick up arrangements for the end of the school day.
The nursery will open at normal times but there will be no breakfast club.
At the moment we presume that those who already attend P1-3 dance after school will be on, if this is cancelled we will groupcall parents in the morning.
There is further information available on the council website: https://www.westlothian.gov.uk/schoolclosures
We look forward to welcoming all our children back.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
P4 Junk Modelling
The third snow day in a row… WOW! I hope you are all enjoying the snow and have been doing some very exciting activities. I have seen a few people on the school Twitter account already!
Since the bins are not being collected due to the snow, I thought we should take this opportunity to ask parents for their help!
Primary 4 are beginning to look at their local area and all the different parts of it, including housing, leisure, jobs and the school.
We would be very grateful if you could help us by collecting any junk modelling materials (cardboard boxes, kitchen roll tubes, etc) for us to make model houses and parks. Please ensure the junk is clean however.
Thank you for your support and thank you in advance for any pieces of junk you can send our way!

Euroquiz
Unfortunately the West Lothian heats of this year’s Euroquiz, which were due to take place tomorrow, have had to be postponed due to the snow. Hopefully this will be re-scheduled soon and our P6 quiz team will be able to put all their hard work to use.
If the team have access to the internet, then they could go onto the website we have been using to practise some of the activities. http://europa.eu/kids-corner/countries/index_en.htm
Another idea might be to watch the news or read a newspaper to find some topical information about Europe. You could also practise your french with a friend or family member.

PUSCPS Nursery Winter Weather Home Learning
Primary 1
Hello Primary 1,
We hope everyone is having some fun in the snow or a nice warm day at home!
There are Winter Ready ideas on the blog already but here are some extra activities to try out today:
– dress up as your favourite book character like you were meant to do today.
– login to Sumdog and join our school ‘Snow Day’ competition. Check out where you are on the leaderboard!
– Can you make odd and even amounts of snowballs?
– check whether people in your family have an odd or even number of letters in their name.
– Build a super hero snowman like your Supertatos from yesterday.
– Make a mini book about what you get up to on your day off. You can include pictures and sentences. Bring it back into school to share with the class.
– Hide some objects in the snow and make a map for someone to find them. You could even give them directions to find things in the house.
– Read a book to your favourite teddy or toy.
– Take a photo of you reading in an unusual place and post to Twitter or the blog.
– Explore your Book Bags.
– Build some words or play a game with your sight words.
See you all soon,
Mrs Strachan & Miss McLennan 😁

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all enjoying the wonderful snow! Remember there are lots of snow day activities for you to complete on the blog and any work you do can be brought in and shared with the class when we return.
Here are some creative activities you can try:
Snowy picture or painting
Snowy personal story (remember to include thoughts and feelings)
A Tom Gates inspired story with pictures and words
Practise your times tables using snow/snowballs
Read a book
Draw a map of your local area and label it
Watch Newsround and draw or write about what you found out
But mainly, have fun with your family and friends in the snow! I would love to see any photos of you in the snow! I will see you when we return to school.

Don’t worry everyone – we will reschedule a date for you to come to school dressed as your character and let you know as soon as possible. The snow day will perhaps give you more time to think about your costume! We can’t wait to see them.
