A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As Calder received the most Dojos last term, they requested a pyjama party. Jessica and Katie organised a range of games, pyjama corners, pass the pillow, stuff the pillow and bed sheet parachute games. We also had lots of nice treats for snacks. Thank you to all the Primary 7 Young Leaders who helped to organised the party.
This morning at assembly we launched Emotion Works by looking at the emotion of happiness!
We first of all watched a clip about ‘joy’ from Inside Out.
Primary 6 helped us to understand different words for happiness.
Then we looked at how we feel and what triggers us to feel happiness.

We then watched a video that showed how we show happiness at PUSCPS, we also discussed how music and other people smiling can make us feel happy and smile. M
