A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 4 love visiting the library every Thursday.
We get to browse the different books and read with our friends. Moira even reads us a different story book each week and lets us share our opinions on them.
Here are some photographs of us from today, enjoying our time in the library:
The aim of The Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children.
Its impact can be transformational – improving not only the children’s fitness, but also their concentration levels, mood, behaviour and general wellbeing.
The Daily Mile is a social activity, wherein the children run or jog – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends. Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run or jog for the full 15 minutes.
Primary 4 had great fun running our daily mile yesterday!
Today at assembly we celebrated how we are all unique and that we should respect everyone for their uniqueness. We watched a video which made us think about we accept others for who they are.
Congratulations to Primary 3, who have completed their Fun Start Sessions with Broxburn United, and a big thank you to the team there for delivering the sessions.
A big well done to all our children this week who have been Living Our Values.
The House Points for the term so far are …
This week our school featured in the West Lothian Courier.
Today we held our traditional Scots Assembly to celebrate Scots and Burns. We invited our grandparents along to share this special celebration with us.
Our nursery am children joined us at the assembly to sing some songs and pm children sent us some videos to share.
Over the past few weeks we have been learning Scots and Burns poems and each class selected 2 pupils to present at today’s assembly. On Monday we will find out the names of the pupil at each stage who will now go through to the West Lothian Burns Competition. The Vice Captains and Mrs Dickie were a tough judging panel to impress!
Primary 6 have been learning Scottish Dancing in P.E. and their class selected a group of pupils to share their dance a our assembly.
We all took part in a Scottish sing song sharing the songs we have been learning.
A big thank you to Mrs Campbell and Mrs Dickie for organising the assembly, and to everyone who came along to help us celebrate.
Learning Intention:
We are learning to develop our group work skills.

I can work well in a group.
I can create an eye-catching poster or PowerPoint.
I can present my findings to the class.
Over the past two weeks Primary 4 have been researching different Scottish people. These people are all famous but for different reasons. The class were given a selection of hidden names and they had to choose one per group. We chose Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mary Queen of Scots, John Logie Baird and Robbie Coltrane.
Each group then discussed the key information they would like to find out about their Scot and how they wanted to present their information. Some chose to create a PowerPoint, while others opted for a poster.
We self-assessed each other and gave every group 2 Stars and a Wish for each group to think about for next time. All groups did extremely well and were able to tell us lots about their famous Scot.
Well done Primary 4!
Learning Intention:
We are learning to keep ourselves safe online.
Success Criteria:
I can make a pledge which will help me be safe online.
I can explain why my pledge will help keep me safe online.
In the lead up to Internet Safety Day 2018 Primary 4 have been looking at the ways in which we use the internet. They were able to come up with lots of things they use the internet, for at home and in the classroom.
We then discussed why we must be careful online and the dangers that are out there. This allowed us to then think of ways we can keep ourselves safe when we are using the internet. We came up with lots of suggestions as a class and then chose one each to make our pledge with. Our pledges will be completed and made into a classroom display for us all to remember and make use of.
