West Lothian Burns Competition

On Wednesday night, our five finalists from our Burns Assembly joined other children from schools across West Lothian to compete in the recital competition.

Our children did a fantastic job of representing their classes at the competition, a big well done to them all and their families for joining them at the competition.

A special congratulations to Jacob who came runner up in the P1-3 section.

We recognised this achievement at assembly on Friday.

Repost: Learning & Teaching at PUSCPS Event

A reminder, that we warmly invite you to come along and join us at our learning and teaching evening.

We often hear from our families, what does learning look like at PUSCPS and what are the school’s priorities.

Come along and find out from staff and children in an informal way what we have been focusing on this year!

We will even provide you with a wee tea or coffee. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening.

Those parent/ carers with an IDL invite will also be able to attend a workshop on this evening.

Repost: Fair Trade Dress Down Day

A reminder that our February dress down day will on Friday 8th March. We would request that if children chose to take part in the dress down day that they make a donation (usually £1) and this donation will go towards Fairtrade, as it is Fairtrade fortnight. The dress down day is free choice, remembering that dress is appropriate for school, we would request no football colours (following West Lothian policy) and no midriff tops.

We are aware that this is the P1 Assembly Day but they can also take part in the dress down day.

Today we had Fun Time Friday. Fun Time Friday is an opportunity for all our children to select an activity that they are interested in and take part in it with peers across different classes. We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.
