Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Thank you for signing up to make a parent appointment online. This has been a huge success with 71%Â of families signing up to make their appointments. The system is now closed, if you would like a parent appointment for Wednesday 2nd or Thursday 3rd October please contact the office by Friday 27th September.
As part of our learning about life in the 16th Century the children went to Stirling Castle to experience what life was like in that time especially if you were rich! While they were on the trip they found out about a lot of things they had said they wanted to learn about.
A gentle reminder that Friday 27th is a dress down day. We would request that if children decide to dress down could they please make a donation in return for this. Our recent dress down days have raised £40-£50. This dress down day is to raise money for school funds to help us with buying resources for our playground.
P1-7 can take part in the Maths Week Scotland Sumdog Competition, at school and at home. The competition starts on Friday 27th September and runs until 3rd October.
A huge thank you to Parent Partners fundraising, which has supported the renewal of our Sumdog subscription.
Good Luck!
At Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS, one of the priorities on our School Improvement Plan this session is the 1 Plus 2 modern languages agenda.
Children are taught French from Nursery to Primary 7. This year we want to extend this by introducing another language or culture in an informal way. Our Parent Partners thought that some families within our school and community could support us! If you can help us, for example a workshop with a class, a club or ongoing support, please fill out the form below.
Thanks in advance.

In P5 we have been further developing our mental maths skills by learning a range of strategies for addition. We are becoming very confident using the appropriate maths language when we are talking through our strategies. Once all of the strategies have been learned we will then look for the most effective strategy for a given calculation.
