Home Learning Guidelines
Our home learning tasks will begin on Monday 3rd September. Please see below for guidelines on home learning tasks.
Welcome Assembly!
On Friday we had our welcome back assembly. It was lovely to see our happy, smiley PUSCPS family back together. It was also fantastic to see every child wearing their school uniform, I would like to thank our families for their support with this.
We explored the value of positivity, which is our value of the month. Using emotion works we discussed:
- Emotion words: What other words do we use for positivity?
- Body sensations: How does our body feel when we are positive?
- Triggers: What makes us feel positive?
We also celebrated the achievement of some of our children who completed the Tesco Bank Summer Reading Challenge at Pumpherston Library. The challenge finishes at the end of August so there is still time to complete it.
Congratulations to our summer readers!
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.

It’s the End of Primary Four!
We have made it to the end of Primary 4!
I have absolutely loved working withmy class and to celebrate this, we all had a mini party today.
Thank you all for an amazing year. I will miss you all so much but I know you will do fantastic work during the rest of your time at PUSCPS and beyond! I will treasure all the memories, gifts and fun times we had together. I promise I will come back and visit!
Enjoy your holidays and come back in August ready to learn with your brilliant new teacher!

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!
Goodbye to Miss Mulhern
Miss Mulhern leaves us tomorrow to take up a post at Carmondean Primary in August. Today at assembly, Primary 4 surprised her with a video of their favourite memories.
We would like to thank Miss Mulhern for all the work she has done not only with Primary 4 but across the school. We will miss her smiley, caring, energetic nature and wish her every success for her future career.
Breich Neon Party
Breich received the most House Points in Term 4.
The children have decided on a Neon Themed Party. This will take place on Thursday 28th between break and lunch time. Children in Breich should come to school in their school uniform and bring bright coloured clothes to change into for the party.
We look forward to celebrating!
