P4/3 Our Local Community Topic

In our local community topic we have been identifying places where we live and belong to in Pumpherston and Uphall. We surveyed the class and created graphs to show the most visited places. P4/3 have also created maps of the area using grid references as a link to mathematics. At the moment we are focusing on sketching and designing a new building for the area. Coming up we will be using our plans as well as lego and other building materials to construct these buildings.

P4 Local Community IDL

As part of our Local Community IDL topic we have been exploring mapping and grid references.  We used Google maps to find out about the local area and highlighted how land has been used on a map of the local area.  Today we went outside to work on shape, position and movement.  We used positional language to give and follow instructions about how to move to a specific place on the grid.

P2/1 – Our Local Area

 

P2/1 has been learning about our village of Pumpherston.  Granny has bought a new house in Pumpherston and we helped her find out all she needs to know about the area.

We looked on google maps to find out what was in the village and we learned about the different people who can help us in the area.

Granny had a problem with litter outside her new home so we made posters, telling people to keep the village tidy. We also went on a litter pick around our school.

This system can only send invitations to the main contact for the child which has been recorded on SEEMIS and we request that they make the appointment. To make your appointments please go to: https://parents-booking.co.uk/pumpherston

Please note: You need to type this address into your website browser’s ‘web address bar’.
Try not to ‘Google’ search the website address, it will not be searchable that way.

Login by entering the requested information, and then use the Booking Wizard to make your appointments.

You will need to enter:

  • Your title (Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms) and surname
  • Your child’s first name, surname and date of birth

Please note: The login details you enter must match those we have on record for you. If you have not alerted the school to any relevant name changes, we will be expecting you to login with the details you gave us original. The booking system will allow you to make bookings from 17th September 2020 at 6.00pm and will close for bookings on 24th September at 1pm.

Once you have logged in, we suggest you use the ‘Booking Wizard’ to make your appointments, although a manual booking option (one booking at a time, one child at a time) also exists.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you cannot login and have tried all the combinations you think we have on file, please contact the school office using the e-mail address at the top of the login page.
  • The email address you can enter is only used to receive a confirmation of your appointment. It will not be used as a login ‘check’. Your e-mail address is never the reason you cannot login.
  • If you have several children to make bookings for, and decide not to use the Booking Wizard, you can make appointments one-by-one using the ‘manual booking’ method. Use the ‘Change Child’ button on the blue bar (above the school’s name, at the top of the web page) to swap between your children.

If you are unable to book at home, please contact the school office for help.
