Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
On our last day of term Mrs Strachan and the Global Group organised a Movies for Magale Day. Children could opt into a movie they wanted to watch and also dress down in their own clothes.
We raised an amazing £200 for our partner school in Magale. A big well done to the Global Group and to everyone who donated.
Our school have been invited to take part in the Uphall Station Gala Day on Saturday 8th June. The theme this year is ‘tropical’. All children at our school can attend and walk in the parade to represent our school.
More information to follow.
On Thursday after school we opened our doors to our community for our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
This event was organised by our Parent Partners, with support from the school staff.
Our children created art work to decorate the hall and we used our home learning task to decorate the tables.
The entrance tickets allowed access to the tea party and a range of different activities including:
Thank you to Asda, Morrisons and Tesco for donated some items for our tombola, prizes and items for the teas party. It was lovely for some of their employees to also come along.
A huge thank you to our Parent Partners, Parent Craft Club, staff, everyone who donated home baking and to everyone who came along to join us. We will update you with the total raised as soon as possible.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to our Spring Home Learning task. It was lovely to use the placemats and table decorations as part of our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. You can see some of the designs below.
Today we celebrated World Autism Awareness Day.
We all wore our favourite colours to show how we are all different.
Mr Ullathorne, one of our parents who works with Autism Initiatives took workshops with P2-7. They discussed autistic super powers, neurodiversity and sensory overload.
A big thank you to Mr Ullathorne for giving up his time to come and work with us.
Great fun today taking workshops with children from P2-P7 for #WorldAutismAwarenessDay.. Talked autistic superpowers, neurodiversity & meeting each others' sensory needs.. Proud to work with @AutismInit to support people to have control & choice in life ❤https://t.co/IypN9stJQS
