Nursery Garden News
This afternoon the children in the Nursery were finding out how the carrots, onions, peas and potatoes they planted in the Spring had grown over the Summer. Here are the results!
Orchard report 21 Aug. 13
The orchard is looking great, although there are no apples yet. One tree has been damaged over the summer, it looks like rabbits have been there. The grass has grown longer in the holidays with lots of clover. Primary 7 found a couple of 4 leafed clovers when we were litter picking.                                                 Holly and Amy Primary 7.

P7 Prom
Last night, Wednesday 26th June 2013, was the prom for our current P7 class. The evening was a fitting celebration of these young people and all they have achieved in their time with us and they were joined by many of their family and friends for their special night.
They certanly know how to make an entrance . . .
They then proceeded down the red carpet to have their photos taken with their families and with each other. Many thanks to Mid Calder Camera Club for taking this task on, we are looking forward to seeing the final images.
This was followed by a very successful ceilidh and a wonderful time was had by all. Thank you to the PSFA and especially Mrs Bonner for organising another fantastic event and thank you also to all our Primary 7 pupils and their families that made the whole thing possible.

A Golden Moment
As you all know Miss Jean Martin is retiring on Friday after teaching at Pumpherston & Uphall Station Primary School for the past 41 years. As much I am sure she is looking forward to the next stage of her life I know that Miss Martin will miss being in the school and being with the children every day. It takes someone very special to have taught in the same community for 41 years and at a very emotional assembly in the school yesterday Miss Martin described the school and the communities it serves as ‘being like a special family’. We will all miss her and wish her a very long and happy retirement.
