Santa Visits PUSCPS!
A very exciting and magical afternoon at PUSCPS as Santa visited our children, from a distance. The children all wished him a Merry Christmas and asked him some questions. He reminded us to go to bed early on Christmas Eve. Thank you Santa for taking time to visit us at this very busy time for you.

Be an Author – Book Week Scotland Competition
Last week we set all classes a free writing competition inviting them to create a piece of writing on any theme or in any style for Book Week Scotland.
Our house and vice captains had the difficult job of judging the competition this week.
P1-P4/3 created theirs on paper, and P4-7 uploaded theirs to Teams.
Congratulations to all our fabulous authors!

PUSCPS Christmas Countdown 2020
Please see below a list of the ways we hope to celebrate the festive period with our children. Staff and the Parent Partners have brainstormed ways we can safely celebrate in our class bubbles and raise some money for school funds (instead of our Christmas Fayre).
We would request that children come to school dressed for their class Christmas Celebration rather than go home at lunch time to change into their party clothes.
I am sure you will agree we have managed to still plan lots of exciting opportunities to celebrate this festive period and our Christmas trees have gone up today!
As always, thank you for your continued support!
How do we teach writing?
In this video, one of our Literacy Champions, Miss McLaughlin, explains how we use a resource called PM Writing to support with the teaching of writing. All classes across the school use this process to ensure consistency and progression in learning.
