P1 have been working with their new talking partners to explore the school playground. We went on a hunt for living things and found lots of bugs to examine and talk about. We were very gentle and put everything back after a good look.
Our Shiny New Primary Ones!
The P1 boys and girls has been very busy over the last 2 weeks settling into their new class. We have talked about some of the rights children have and shared  ideas on how we can have a happy, safe learning community.
We can earn Class Dojo points for our school House teams: Almond, Breich and Calder.
We can also fill ours and others buckets through positive  actions in school.
We will have some ‘Together Time’ each week to celebrate respecting our class promises!

Home Learning Guidelines
Our home learning tasks will begin on Monday 3rd September. Please see below for guidelines on home learning tasks.
Welcome Assembly!
On Friday we had our welcome back assembly. It was lovely to see our happy, smiley PUSCPS family back together. It was also fantastic to see every child wearing their school uniform, I would like to thank our families for their support with this.
We explored the value of positivity, which is our value of the month. Using emotion works we discussed:
- Emotion words: What other words do we use for positivity?
- Body sensations: How does our body feel when we are positive?
- Triggers: What makes us feel positive?
We also celebrated the achievement of some of our children who completed the Tesco Bank Summer Reading Challenge at Pumpherston Library. The challenge finishes at the end of August so there is still time to complete it.
Congratulations to our summer readers!

Welcome to our new Primary 1s!
Primary 1 – A new and exciting beginning!
Primary 1 had a great first day today. They all settled well and were ready to begin their school journey. The children made lots of choices during our ‘Play and Learn’ times. We read a story together and talked about the meanings of words and travelling safely. The buddies were fantastic! They came to the class to help the children get ready for both break time and lunch time and at the end of the school day. At lunchtime the children sat in the lunch hall and shared time with their buddy, returning to the playground for a run around and a time to explore.
After lunch the children returned to the classroom and we investigated mark making using chalk boards, we developed our scissor skills and created a ‘This is me on my first day at school’ line drawing . At the end of the day we were joined by our buddies again who walked with us on our first Primary 1 Daily Mile around the school. Well done!
P7 & P1 Buddy Time
P7 have been enjoying the responsibility of helping their buddy.
Welcome to Primary 1!
Welcome to all our Primary 1 children starting school tomorrow. Please enter the school through the front office and meet in the dinner hall at 9am. You can come into class with your child and have a first day photo before saying good byes. We have even made a wee pack to help you relax while you leave your child in our care.
Please collect your child from the front office at 3:00pm.
We look forward to seeing all our new smiley P1 children.
