Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Today we had an assembly to reflect on the time that Mrs Cullum, Mrs Struthers and Mr Champion have taught in our school. We sang songs to wish them well and shared memories of their time at PUSCPS.
We are really sad to see them go, and although we will miss them lots we wich them lots of luck in their new schools, which are very luck to have them.

This morning our children were very excited to find out who their teacher would be for next session. They all enjoyed a getting to know you activity with their new teacher and we welcomed our new Primary Ones.
Our new Primary Ones and their families joined us for a Dine Together session, so they could sample our school lunches.
Our Primary 6 children were very excited about receiving their Primary 7 tie!
The West Lothian contest starts this Friday. Â Can anyone make it into the top 50?

Primary 2S have been busy this week completing a transition challenge set by Miss Burton. Our challenge is to let P1 know about what to expect when they come up to P2 next session. We have made posters showing important information and we are looking forward to going to visit the P1 class to share the information on our posters. We will let you know how we get on!
As a health promoting school we would like to remind parents/ carers the importance of children bringing a healthy snack to school. Some of our children are bringing sugary candy style snacks, packets of biscuits and/ or share bags of crisps. These types of snack can obviously have a negative impact on their concentration levels, their health and teeth. We would appreciate it if children could bring a healthy snack with them for break times. Some examples may include, fruit, veggie sticks, crackers, cheese, etc.

All the children in P1-P7 created a piece of writing for the West Lothian Council Stellar Writing Competition (previously known as Young Writer of the Year).
Our Literacy Leaders had the difficult task of selecting the best piece of writing for each class, and then an overall winner for the school.
On Thursday 6th May at 2:30pm, we will have a special Star Writer Assembly to celebrate and announce those children who have been selected (the children don’t know). Parents/ carers of these children have been informed but everyone is invited to the assembly. We look forward to seeing you!
