Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Last week we set all classes a free writing competition inviting them to create a piece of writing on any theme or in any style for Book Week Scotland.
Our house and vice captains had the difficult job of judging the competition this week.
P1-P4/3 created theirs on paper, and P4-7 uploaded theirs to Teams.
Congratulations to all our fabulous authors!
P1 and P2/1 had some very exciting mail this week. We received our first postcard from our new Book Penpal, Sophie Ambrose! We loved reading about Albie, the warthog in her book ‘Bedtime for Albie. We even had a shot of becoming illustrators by drawing Albie. We hope you like our pictures. We will write you a postcard soon next week.
In this video, one of our Literacy Champions, Miss McLaughlin, explains how we use a resource called PM Writing to support with the teaching of writing. All classes across the school use this process to ensure consistency and progression in learning.
Sumdog’s West Lothian Maths Contest is here! It finishes at 8pm on Thursday 19th November.Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:

We still need a few more players in each class to join the leaderboard!
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Poppy Appeal, we raised £71.15.
This year Miss Burton laid a school poppy wreath at the Pumpherston Memorial as the P7s were unable to due to restrictions.
Classes also marked Remembrance Day by having a 2 minute silence in class.
This week Primary 2/1 learned all about how to stay safe around fireworks and created firework pictures. We first looked at videos and pictures of fireworks and talked about the colours we could see. We then drew lines with wet chalk on black paper to recreate fireworks bursting in the sky.
This year we celebrated Halloween at school! Due to all the restrictions we thought it would be a good idea to celebrate with their class. Look at all the strange and scary creatures who arrived at school on Friday!
Thank you to everyone who donated.
