Camera Club: A Frosty Morning at PUSCPS!
Pupil Council Watch Annie at Kirkhill PS
Some of our Pupil Council had the opportunity to visit Kirkhill Primary and watch their production of Annie. They really enjoyed the experience and thought the show was excellent! Miss Burton also received an email from Miss McLaren, the Head Teacher at Kirkhill to say:
‘Your kids who came to the show were amazing … their behaviour and manners were exemplary and were an absolute joy to have in the school. I hope they enjoyed it.’.
Primary 3
This week, Primary 3 took their first steps with Free Writing!
Free Writing happens when children are given a theme/idea and can write in any way about it. This week, children were given the theme of ‘Scotland’ and began their free pieces. We had so much variety! Have a look below at some of our work!
Until next time…

Scottish Celebration Assembly
This morning we held our annual Scottish Assembly to celebrate all things Scottish. It was fantastic to have older family members, family and friends join us for the celebration.
We welcomed two judges for the poetry recitals, Mrs Thom from our office and Mr Jenkins a local resident who is part of the Burns Federation.
Two pupils from each class were selected to present at the assembly.
The judges decided on one child from each stage from P2-7 to go through to the West Lothian Burns Competition in February/ March.
The winners were:
- P2 – Jacob
- P3 – Sophie-Rose
- P4 – Eilidh
- P5 – Aaron
- P6 – Owen
- P7 -Lauren
Congratulations to the children who performed but also to all the children who recited a poem in front of their class.
Two girls from Primary 4 demonstrated some Scottish dancing.

Pumphie Pals: Our Playground
This week in Pumhie Pals the focus was our playground
We made a list of new toys and equipment we would like for the different zones in our playground.
We looked at different playground scenarios and how the people involved felt. We also thought about how some of the scenarios could be prevented or resolved.
