Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
We have been getting to know our nursery buddies over the past few weeks.  Attached are some pictures of some of us with our afternoon buddies.  We have lots of super ideas of ways to help our buddies prepare for starting school in August and will update you on our progress with these soon!

Standing in the orchard area reminded us of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful school in such a scenic area. We have so many learning opportunities right on our doorstep and we are planning on making the very best of what we have over the coming months and years.
As part of Eco week P2 had to find out about our school Eco code. At the beginning of the week the children knew where to find it but could not remember what was written in it.  We decided to learn the Eco code in the style of a rap and by the end of the week the children were able to recall every single line! They had great fun learning the rap and performed it for the rest of the school at our Eco assembly.
Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS have some budding artists and photographers. Here are some pictures captured of a newt found in the school grounds last week that a P2 transformed into a wonderful piece of artwork.
Primary 1 had lots of fun during Eco Week! We designed our own planters and then spruced up the ones by the kickpitch! We pulled out the weeds and planted new seeds! We also went on a Spring Litter Pick – you can see how much we collected in the photo! We also helped the team on Friday to plant apple and plum trees for our orchard. We can’t wait to see the trees grow.
This week our Eco challenge was to find playground games which can be put onto the ground of the playground. The one we picked for the younger children was a colourful caterpillar with the numbers up to twenty on it. We liked lots of designs for the older children and could not decide which one to pick. Some liked the bubble target and others liked the circle target. What we decided to do was to draw our favourite designs and give them to Molly to take to the next Pupil Council meeting. That way the whole school can be involved in what design should be picked. We were also involved in a litter pick and very much enjoyed helping to plant the orchard on Friday.
By the way……………… In case you have forgotten P5 are going to camp next week!
We have had a very busy first week back in Primary 4 with lots of Eco challenges to complete. Our main challenge was to find out where the sun shone on our playground. We recorded this on a map and by taking photos at 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm.  Below are some photos of the playground at different times of the day.  Â
Before the holidays Primary 7 had asked if they could join in this latest internet phenomenon.

Primary 6 have been very busy in our first week back at school.
We have been finishing our newspaper reports about the Titanic. We realised that we were writing them on the 101st anniversary of the Titanic sinking. We are going to make them look old by using coffee and tea to stain the paper.
In maths some people were learning about improper and mixed fractions. We like it because we do lots of different activites to help us learn.
We had an eco challenge to find out which are the tastiest apples and pears and which ones grow in Scotland. We tasted a range of varieties and collected data about our classes favourites. We presented our data on a graph using apple and pear designs.
P6 and P7 went down to Uphall Station Park to give it a spring clean from litter. We think we did a great job!
Have a nice weekend!
In Primary 7 this term we learned about Queen Esther saving her people from Haman’s evil plan. Watch the video and see what happens.Primary 7 purim The password is Primary 7
