As we are lucky to currently have such beautiful weather can we please offer you a few gentle reminders about sun cream:
Long may the sunshine continue!
Our basketball team recently won the White B Conference as part of the West Lothian Wolves Primary School league.
Our basketball team was a new addition to the school this year. These children give up their lunch times, after school and Friday afternoons to train and attend league games.
We are very proud of their perseverance, determination and grit in order to win their league.
To recognise this huge achievement, today we treated them to a pizza party! They enjoyed pizza, team chat and watching some NBA games.
A big thank you to their Coach, Mrs Hamilton who has been an inspirational and motivational coach for our team, and also to the children’s families for supporting them by taking them to the games.
Best of luck for your games on Friday!
We will also have our nearly new uniform stall.
Each session West Lothian issue a parent ethos survey for families to complete about your child’s school. The findings of this questionnaire, along with our school evaluations, help us to plan future improvements.
We would value if you could take ten minutes to complete the survey using the link below.

As part of National Digital Learning Week staff offered some lunchtime clubs.
P1-3 had the option to attend an apps club. They had a tinker with the different apps we have available and a play with the green screen.
P4-7 could attend a Glow workshop. They decided they would have a play with forms and make an online quiz, or Sway and make a presentation about something they were interested in. Both groups tinkered with the software and supported each other with using the different features.
We started our session by playing a community builder and some of the pre-school children from our nursery joined us, as part of their transition.
On Friday our Pumphie Pals groups used How Good is OUR Good to self evaluation our improvements journey. Each group had one of the areas to evaluate:
The groups sorted statements into agree, not sure and disagree.
We would like to invite parents and carers to evaluate our improvement plan and PEF plan for this session and to contribute for our planning for next session.
The sheets below are available to comment on:
We would really appreciate your comments and contributions.
The Uphall Station Gala Day Committee would like to invite our school/nursery children to their annual Gala Day on Saturday 8th June 2019.

We would like to encourage as many of our children and parents to walk in the parade. All children should be accompanied by a parent/carer throughout the parade it is along a main road. Stewards and police will also be in attendance. Mrs Cougan will also be there to meet the children with the school banner.
