Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As part of developing independence and responsibility with our senior pupils we are asking the Primary 6s as they enter into Primary 7 to apply for a Responsible Role in the playground. They will have the opportunity to apply for a post over the next week in class. Below is a description of the different jobs.
LI: To develop the skills to manage our emotions
SC:
I can … describe what an emotional trigger is
I can… describe the effect of an emotional trigger
I can… use emotional vocabulary
I can…. draw in detail
The children took part in a class discussion about the effect an emotional trigger had on their mood, describing how their mood changed after the emotional trigger. We looked specifically at emotional triggers which changed our moods from happiness to sad / angry. First we made a word bank of the
appropriate emotional vocabulary. The children created a picture to show their mood before the emotional trigger, then describe the emotional trigger and finally showed the change in their emotions after the emotional trigger. Once the drawing was complete the children had to use at least 5 examples of emotional vocabulary for each emotion. Some children presented their pictures to the class and discussed their change in emotions.
As Calder received the most Dojos last term, they requested a pyjama party. Jessica and Katie organised a range of games, pyjama corners, pass the pillow, stuff the pillow and bed sheet parachute games. We also had lots of nice treats for snacks. Thank you to all the Primary 7 Young Leaders who helped to organised the party.
This morning at assembly we launched Emotion Works by looking at the emotion of happiness!
We first of all watched a clip about ‘joy’ from Inside Out.
Primary 6 helped us to understand different words for happiness.
Then we looked at how we feel and what triggers us to feel happiness.

We then watched a video that showed how we show happiness at PUSCPS, we also discussed how music and other people smiling can make us feel happy and smile. M

Mrs Dickie told us all about the Rockie Rockstars who are coming to work with us week beginning 30th April.
We finished our assembly with our Living our Values Certificates.
