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.

As part of Fairtrade Fortnight our Pumphie Pals session today had a Fairtrade theme.

First of all the children sorted statements which represented Fairtrade values and those that didn’t.

Then they had a Fairtrade quiz.

Primary 4 Art

At the beginning of the term we created artwork in the style of Charles Rennie MacIntosh, linked to our Scots focus, using the MacIntosh Rose as part of the design.

We have now moved on to abstract art, which uses line, shape and colour, exploring the work of Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. The children have been finding out about the artists and creating abstract art in a similar style.

Today the children have been using shapes to create their own abstract artwork which they will colour next week.

Concentrating to outline the shapes ready to be coloured.
