A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
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
Today we talked about all of the things we had learned this term and the things that we had enjoyed the most. This term our favourite things have been: the P4 Benchball Festival, tasting lots of different types of foods for our Food topic, using Sum Dog and maths games/challenges to help us learn different skills in maths, learning how to write different types of poems and creating art work in the style of different artists.  We also really enjoyed learning all about Easter with Mrs Hull.
We hope everybody has a lovely Easter holiday see you all soon.

This week P6 have been practising a play for our assembly about the Titanic.  We know our parts now!  We also finished our homework task to make our own model of the Titanic.
We had a rehearsal for our Easter assembly for next week. Today we have been designing Easter eggs to decorate the hall.  Miss McLennan thinks they are fantastic!
We have also been playing maths champion to try to beat the p7s in a challenge next week. Â

P5 have been busy practising for the Easter Service which is on Tuesday 26th March at 10am. This is the first time our brass instrument pupils have performed for the school and for parents. They gave P5 a performance on Tuesday morning with Miss Foster and they were very good. We do hope you can come along to the Easter Service to hear them!
This week it was parents night and the children reported back that their parents were pleased with all their hard work. Well done P5 and keep this up!
