Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
We spent a lot of time considering which articles, from the UN convention of the rights of a child, were most suited to us in school.
We read the articles.
Highlighted the one that applied to us in school/class.
We considered the most important to us.
We then thought how we as Rights Holders could keep these rights and how the adults as Duty Bearers, can help us maintain our rights.

It was lovely to be back with all our friends again.
We started a new Numeracy topic on volume. We have been learning how to read volume scales on beakers and jugs in millilitres and litres, working out problems with volume and we have begun learning how to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboids in cubic centimetres.
In literacy, we watched a short persuasive animation and tried to work out the message it was showing us. We then looked at the different devices the animator used to persuade us and discussed how effective these were.
In art, we started using the new drawing pencils we got at the end of last term. We learned how to draw a realistic mouth.
Have a great weekend everyone.

On Friday we welcomed 52 delegates and residents from Mtarfa in Malta, who are twinned with Pumpherston. Guests included Mayor Attard and Joanne Mifsud, Head of the local primary school. We entertained our guests with a Scottish Celebration Assembly including dancing, singing and reciting poetry. The visit was organised through Pumpherston Community Council and we look forward to developing a partnership with the primary school on Mtarfa.

Today Breich celebrated receiving the most Dojos in Term 4 by having a Neon Party. Everyone dressed in neon clothes and we got glow bracelets. We danced, played games and had lots of brightly coloured food. Thanks to our House and Vice Captains for organising and to our P7 Young Leaders for helping.
Well done Breich!

Breich received the most House Points in Term 4.
The children have decided on a Neon Themed Party. This will take place on Thursday 28th between break and lunch time. Children in Breich should come to school in their school uniform and bring bright coloured clothes to change into for the party.
We look forward to celebrating!
Please look in your child’s school bag today for their end of year report.
We have included a feedback slip, please comment on your child’s learning and return to the school.
Pumpherston community are twinned with Mtarfa in Malta. This week, Pumpherston welcome 50 guests from Malta for a week long visit. As part of their visit they will visit our school on Friday 29th June.
During their visit we will welcome our guests to a Scottish Assembly at 9:30-10:00am, which you are welcome to attend. Following the assembly, our guests will meet with some groups of children to discuss our school.
Please be reminded that children should wear their school uniform on Friday. P7s will take part in their traditional ‘shirt signing’ after the assembly.
We look forward to you joining us.
Today we invited The NED Show along to PUSCPS. Â NED is a loveable cartoon character whose name is an acronym for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best. Teachers love that NED is simple, relatable and kid-focused. The Assembly reminded us of our school values. Well done to Ewen, Caitlin and Sam who received a yo-yo for their participation. Thanks to Chad for coming along to present as part of The Ned Show.
