A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
On Friday 23rd March the Magale Group have organised:
Movies for Magale
Children have a choice to watch one of 7 different films on Friday morning, for a contribution to our partner school in Magale. They can also purchase popcorn for 30p.
As world autism day is on 2nd April, for the dress down day on Friday 23rd March we are asking children to #LightItUpBlue and wear blue to raise awareness of autism for a small donation.
All money raised on this day will go to Magale.
This month we are trying out a new way of keeping you up to date with all our learning and achievements from PUSCPS. It would be great if you could give us some feedback by leaving a comment on our blog post.
Livingston FC, West Lothian Youth Foundation, the SPFL Trust and Scottish Book Trust have teamed up to launch a pioneering pilot project, which aims to encourage kids to read.
The Lions are working in partnership with 14 SPFL clubs and local libraries, to deliver the 4-4-2 Reading Challenge which aims to inspire children aged 5-12 to read four books in exchange for match tickets.
The initiative centres on a reading “challenge card” which participating clubs and libraries will issue. For every book read, children will receive a stamp on their card.
When they have read four books, participants will receive a FREE match ticket for a home league match at The Tony Macaroni Arena, while an accompanying adult will be able to purchase a discounted ticket.
We are delighted to be part of this initiative, and our children are lucky they have a library on their doorstop. Our cards will be arriving this week and children can visit our Community Library at the times below to borrow a book and collect their card.

Learning intention – to look closely at famous artists work and discuss our own views
Success criteria – I can respond to the work of an artist by discussing my own thoughts and feelings about it.
In response to ‘The Scream’ by Edvard Munch
Finlay – look at the background, it looks like they are in space or in a tunnel
Samantha – he is screaming because he is up high, on the bridge, and he is scared of heights.
Kyle – it looks like a cliff is crumbling like in an earthquake.
Owen – it looks like a volcanic eruption with the colours. I think the man is trying to get away from the other two men but his way is blocked that’s why he is screaming.
Amber – I think he is a scary person and the two other men are trying to get him and put him in prison.
