Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS have some budding artists and photographers. Here are some pictures captured of a newt found in the school grounds last week that a P2 transformed into a wonderful piece of artwork.
Eco week in P5
This week our Eco challenge was to find playground games which can be put onto the ground of the playground. The one we picked for the younger children was a colourful caterpillar with the numbers up to twenty on it. We liked lots of designs for the older children and could not decide which one to pick. Some liked the bubble target and others liked the circle target. What we decided to do was to draw our favourite designs and give them to Molly to take to the next Pupil Council meeting. That way the whole school can be involved in what design should be picked. We were also involved in a litter pick and very much enjoyed helping to plant the orchard on Friday.
By the way……………… In case you have forgotten P5 are going to camp next week!
P5 Weekly News
P5 have been busy practising for the Easter Service which is on Tuesday 26th March at 10am. This is the first time our brass instrument pupils have performed for the school and for parents. They gave P5 a performance on Tuesday morning with Miss Foster and they were very good. We do hope you can come along to the Easter Service to hear them!
This week it was parents night and the children reported back that their parents were pleased with all their hard work. Well done P5 and keep this up!

P5 Red Nose Day Job Swap
Friday was a great day with lots of children doing Mrs Campbell’s job! It started with Mr Campbell and Miss Sweeney both from P1 who were in to teach maths. After break we had Miss Mackie from P7 who was doing the spelling tests and also Miss Gillies who was helping with the weekly reflections. We had P5 pupils who were out doing other jobs! Some were being the janitor, some were teaching in a variety of classes and one was being Mrs Nicolls for the morning. It was a fun way to raise so much money for charity.
Red Nose Day – Update
Congratulations to all of our pupils and staff who did a job swap and made this day a success, I think we all had a great day and all deeply enjoyed it.
Thank you too to everyone for your generous donations. We have raised £295.73.

This week P5 enjoyed golf with Mr Bett and we will look forward to another two sessions with him. Perhaps we have another Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy amongst us! In PE we have enjoyed badminton with Mrs Pender and sadly it was our last week this week. We also learnt some new playground games so we can show all of the other classes in the playground.
