A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As tonight is Bonfire Night, Primary 2/1 have been Responsible Citizens learning how to stay safe around fireworks. Here are some important things we learned:
-Never throw fireworks
– Keep pets indoors
-Always wear gloves with sparklers
-Stand well back from fireworks and bonfires
-Never go back to a lit firework
We created our own firework pictures using different materials.
Thank you for your support with school uniform and our new approach to P.E. kit.
We would request that on P.E. days children wear to school:
In order to continue with our inclusive ethos and promoting our school identity we would request that children don’t wear branded clothing. We also have nearly new school polo shirts and sweatshirts that can be purchased for a small donation.
On non P.E. days children should wear their normal school uniform (this does not include tracksuit bottoms, leggings – unless with a skirt or jeans).
Term 4 P.E. Days
Thank you for your support with this.
We have been learning about The Senses. We researched the 5 different senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. In groups, we talked about, then drew and labelled our favourite thing to smell, taste, touch, hear and see. We discussed how our senses can keep us safe and help us make sense of the world around us.
We wanted to find out how easy it would be to complete tasks if we weren’t able to use all our senses.
We had some class volunteers take part in a blindfold challenge where they had to move around the room only listening to the instructions from the teacher. It helped us to understand how people who do not have sight have to rely on their sense of hearing and touch to help them move around their environment safely.
Our blindfolded volunteers enjoyed the taste test, where sweet and savoury items were given to taste and they had to identify the item. Some items were tricky but everyone managed to identify the chocolate!
