Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As our school inspection results are published on Tuesday 16th January, we would like to invite our parents, carers and families to our assembly on Friday 19th January to share our inspection results and findings with the school community. We look forward to seeing you there.
Almond have decided on a Candy Party as their treat for winning the House Competition last term.
Remember if you are in Almond you can bring party clothes with you to school to change into on Friday 12th.
At our in-service day on Monday we looked at ways we celebrate successes and personal achievements in school and if we needed to make any changes. We shared this at our New Year Assembly on Tuesday.
One of our P6 children suggested that everyone used Class Dojo and these points could be used as house points, so we have decided to trial this approach. Children can receive points for living the school values. On a Friday the house and vice captains will collect the house points and we will share them at the assembly. Also if you are the top scorer in your class for your house, each Friday you will receive a Top Scorer card and this will be entered into a termly draw. The lucky winners will receive a voucher. The winning house each term will receive a treat of their choice.
Each term we will have a celebration assembly to celebrate those children with achievements in reading (as it is in our school improvement plan) and STEM (Science Technologies Engineering and Mathematics). We will also share the house winners and top scorers at this assembly.
At our Pumphie Pals Meeting we discussed what Golden Time should look like in our school and here is what we came up with:
We look forward to earning our dojos and sharing our successes with you!
You will find some of our changes in the PowerPoint below, we will continue to reflect, adapt and consult on the changes.

This morning we had a festive start to our day with our traditional Christmas Sing a long. The Green Gang organised a Christmas Jumper day and we all joined together to remember The Christmas Story. Rev. Povey also joined us to share the Christmas message.
We announced the winners of the Festive Home Learning task, which you will see below. A big well done to everyone who took part.
Thank you to our P7 narrators and to Mrs Campbell for organising the service. Also thank to all of you who could join us.

I would like to thank the children, staff and parents for all making me feel so welcome at PUSCPS. I hope you all have a lovely family Christmas together and I look forward to seeing all the children when we return to school in the New Year.

A big well done to everyone who took part in the festive home learning task, the results are amazing! It is fantastic to see the efforts families have went to to complete the task.
I have really enjoyed speaking to the children about how they made their designs and what they used. We will share the results at the Sing-a-long tomorrow.
Primary 1, 2 and 3 children has a special visitor at their Christmas Party!
Many thanks to all parents and carers who came along to see our performance of ‘Whoops a Daisy Angel’. We hope you enjoyed watching and listening to the children. They were fantastic! Well done to them all.
On Friday we held our annual Christmas Fair, organised by our Parent Partners Group. The choir opened the event by singing some Christmas songs and all the classes had taken part in Enterprise projects which they sold at the fair. Our nurture groups, outdoor club and parent craft club also had stalls. Our P7 Young Leaders came along and worked at some of the stands and even set up their own nail bar. Thanks to everyone who organised the event and to all those who visited and donated to school funds.
P1 enjoyed their ‘Giving Nature a Home’ session with the RSPB this afternoon. They were outside, working in teams to find lots of habitats for animals. The RSPB leaders were very impressed with great ideas and fantastic manners. Well done!
