Welcome Back to School

Today our staff have been very busy making the final preparations for our children to return to school tomorrow (Tuesday). We have caught up on all the West Lothian policies and guidance and have looked at the year ahead, which we look forward to sharing with you at Meet the Teacher on Thursday 13th September.

On Tuesday morning, breakfast club will be open from 8:10, and our school playground will be open from 8:30am for safe arrivals. School starts at normal at 8:50am. Can we please request, at pick up time families do not enter the playground until 3:10pm, as some classes may still be using the facilities.

Unfortunately our new P7 ties have not arrived but we look forward to them arriving shortly. Until this happens, P7s should wear their white shirts/ polo shirts.

We look forward to welcoming back all our children and are excited about the year ahead for our PUSCPS family.

Visitors from Malta

On Friday we welcomed 52 delegates and residents from Mtarfa in Malta, who are twinned with Pumpherston. Guests included Mayor Attard and Joanne Mifsud, Head of the local primary school. We entertained our guests with a Scottish Celebration Assembly including dancing, singing and reciting poetry. The visit was organised through Pumpherston Community Council and we look forward to developing a partnership with the primary school on Mtarfa.

Breich Neon Party

Today Breich celebrated receiving the most Dojos in Term 4 by having a Neon Party. Everyone dressed in neon clothes and we got glow bracelets. We danced, played games and had lots of brightly coloured food. Thanks to our House and Vice Captains for organising and to our P7 Young Leaders for helping.

Well done Breich!

Primary 3 Highland Games!

On Friday, Primary 3 enjoyed taking part in a ‘Highland Games’ event at Broxburn Academy. This was extra special as it had previously been postponed due to very windy weather. Here are some photos of them taking part in the various activities on the day. They were an absolute credit to our school, showing fantastic sportsmanship, and supporting their friends. Well done to all in P3, we are very proud of you!

The NED Show

Today we invited The NED Show along to PUSCPS. NED is a loveable cartoon character whose name is an acronym for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best. Teachers love that NED is simple, relatable and kid-focused. The Assembly reminded us of our school values. Well done to Ewen, Caitlin and Sam who received a yo-yo for their participation. Thanks to Chad for coming along to present as part of The Ned Show.
