A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week Primary 1 have been investigating finding pairs of numbers that when added together make ten. We used counters and numicon to help us and enjoyed playing smartboard games and number bond bingo to practise what we have learned.
As part of our school Resilience programme, we talked about people who are special to us and drew pictures of who lives behind our front door,
This week Primary six have been learning about fractions. We have learned how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions by looking at concrete materials and recording our answers.
For our Scottish themed topic, we have been researching the Scottish Colourist, Samuel John Peploe. We recreated one of his pieces “Tulips” – and alongside this we have been drafting out a procedural text to instruct people on how to create their own.
For reading, we have been studying Friend or Foe – this week we focused on using empathy to ask questions about the main character, with some children pretending to be the main character to try and work out how he might be feeling.
For PE we are doing handball – this week we were looking at our passing skills – jump passing, bounce passing and overhead passing.
Primary 6 are very excited for their upcoming excursion to the Sky Academy on Monday – parents please make sure children are in sharp so that we can all leave on time 🙂 thank you
Primary 1 began the week learning about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. We learned that in the run up to New Year, people decorate their houses and that as part of the celebrations, children are given red envelopes with money inside. We made our own lanterns and red envelopes.
We also took part in the Scots assembly where we sang two Scottish songs – Mairi’s Wedding and Rammie in the Chip Shop. Our two Scots poem winners also performed “Mince and Tatties” in front of the school and P4 parents/carers.
Continuing our topic, P1 also designed a kilt for Katie Morag and enjoyed learning some Scottish dancing in the hall.
This week in Primary 3 we have been learning all about Scotland and its heritage. We were learning the skill of ‘weaving’ where we designed, created and perfected our very own tartan for our families.
We also took part in the Scots assembly where we sang two Scottish songs – Mairi’s Wedding and Rammie in the Chip Shop. Our two Scots poem winners also performed ‘Twa Legged Mice’ in front of the whole school and P4 parents/carers.
Well done everyone!

As part of our Scots focus, Primary 1 will be reading Katie Morag stories by the Scottish author, Mairi Hedderwick. This week we have enjoyed reading Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted.
In the story, Katie Morag throws her teddy bear into the stormy sea. We painted stormy seas using cold colours and made our own teddy bears. We also completed a challenge where we put the events of the story in the correct order and wrote our own descriptions of Katie Morag.
