Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Today we had an assembly to reflect on the time that Mrs Cullum, Mrs Struthers and Mr Champion have taught in our school. We sang songs to wish them well and shared memories of their time at PUSCPS.
We are really sad to see them go, and although we will miss them lots we wich them lots of luck in their new schools, which are very luck to have them.

Each session West Lothian issue a parent ethos survey for families to complete about your child’s school. The findings of this questionnaire, along with our school evaluations, help us to plan future improvements.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken part in the questionnaire. We would value if you could take ten minutes to complete the survey using the link below.

It has been a busy week in P1.
In topic, we have been busy creating our own 3D aquariums using craft materials. Â Our polar books now have a front cover and 2 information pages.
We had a digital learning visit from Three Mobile who showed us how to create our own cartoons using an app called Toontastic. Â Everyone worked very well with their partners to create new characters.
Well done to Kiannah, Iona, Grace and Millie who presented their Marvellous Me boxes to their peers. Â They were all super and beamed with confidence!
This morning our children were very excited to find out who their teacher would be for next session. They all enjoyed a getting to know you activity with their new teacher and we welcomed our new Primary Ones.
Our new Primary Ones and their families joined us for a Dine Together session, so they could sample our school lunches.
Our Primary 6 children were very excited about receiving their Primary 7 tie!
The West Lothian contest starts this Friday. Â Can anyone make it into the top 50?

P1 Induction Evening – Meet the Teacher (for parents):
On Tuesday 4th June at 6pm we would like to invite parents/ carers along to find out about what learning and routines are like in P1. You will also receive all your enrollment forms at this time and have a chance to visit the P1 classrooms. If you are unable to attend the induction evening, the PowerPoints will be available on our school blog and you can pick up your induction pack and forms from the office.
We will have on sale nearly new uniform and school ties for anyone who would like to purchase one. Please remember to return your dine together orders.
Meet the Teacher (for pupils) and Dine Together:
On Tuesday 11th June at 11:00-12pm we invite all our pre-school children to meet their new teacher and class. During this time, parents/ carers are invited to stay for tea and coffee and get to know the other P1 parents.
The morning pre-school children will be brought into the P1 classroom by the nursery staff. Afternoon or new children to the school should meet at the school office at 10:55am.
Following this you will have the opportunity to sample a school lunch with your child (from 12:00pm-12:30pm). A lunch order form is enclosed with letter, please return to school by 4th June with the money for an adult lunch enclosed. You can also hand these forms in on the induction evening.
As a health promoting school we would like to remind parents/ carers the importance of children bringing a healthy snack to school. Some of our children are bringing sugary candy style snacks, packets of biscuits and/ or share bags of crisps. These types of snack can obviously have a negative impact on their concentration levels, their health and teeth. We would appreciate it if children could bring a healthy snack with them for break times. Some examples may include, fruit, veggie sticks, crackers, cheese, etc.
