Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 2-7 pupils signed up to their chosen golden time activity this week and had great fun playing with peers from different classes. All classes have been learning about Rights and Responsibilities since returning to school and article number 31 is a favourite – we have the right to play.
P3 are happy to be part of the Roots of Empathy (ROE) program this year. This program teaches children about feelings through regular visits from a baby and her parents.
We had our first visit from Mrs Brutin, our ROE instructor, this afternoon. She talked to us about what will happen in our ROE sessions and showed us some photos of the baby. We used our measuring skills to measure a doll and then used our estimating skills to guess whether the real baby would be bigger, smaller or the same size as the doll. P3 came up with lots of good questions about what the baby can do and we are going to ask these when we meet the baby and her parents.
Our first family visit (with the baby and her parents) will be in two weeks. Everyone is very excited to meet them!
Mrs Cullum and P3
A huge congratulations to Peyton Dervish in P1 and Calum Rose in P3 for their achievements at the West Lothian Young Writer of the year awards. They attended the awards at Howden Park Centre last night with their family and received a medal and prize.
Well done Peyton and Calum!
We have been busy replying to our Magale Penpals!
Everyone in P3 enjoyed a sunny Scottish morning at the cluster Highland Games today. From welly wanging to highland coo catching, lots of fun was had. The children had the opportunity to meet other P3 pupils from the cluster and showed excellent participation and behaviour.
Well done P3!

Maths
P3 have been exploring how you could measure the area of a space. We have been using non-standard units like 2D shapes, house points, cubes and pebbles. We compared different areas.
P3 had a lovely time this afternoon in our school garden with Sarah-Jayne.  We learned about 8 vegetable families. Each family’s vegetables grow and produce seeds in different ways from other families.
We prepared the planting beds, planted seeds and made sure they had water. We used our writing skills to label what we planted.
Hopefully we can go out again soon to check on things!
