Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog

This week in Primary 3 we have been getting used to our classroom surroundings, routines and showing off our learning from Primary 2.

We have focused on our listening skills over week 1 and 2 where we have used the Teaching Children to Listen resources. These resources have been uploaded onto our Seesaw page for you to try the games at home.

Every child has been provided with their Seesaw and Sumdog log in this week which will allow them to access this at home.

Here are some pictures from our second week in Primary 3.

 

I just wanted to post a little blog message thanking everybody for such a wonderful time at PUSCPS this term. The children have been so incredibly kind, hard-working and hilarious, and everyone has made me feel so welcome.

I’ll miss this school a lot, and I’m sure that P5 are going to be absolutely incredible as they go into P6. Keep on shining like the stars that you are!

This week we were lucky to receive a visit from the Scottish Parliament education department. We were able to share the information we had learnt this term alongside some inside facts about the Parliament itself. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and were grateful to have the opportunity to engage fully in the different, interactive activities.

We had our assembly this week, which we really enjoyed sharing with the whole school and parents/carers. We hope you enjoyed hearing about our learning and we will keep you posted on who wins the election!

Thank you so much for coming to support us!

This week in Primary 2 we have continued to look at measurement, and have started to focus on weight. We used cubes to help us estimate the weight of some objects in our classroom. We then weighed them and compared the actual weight to our estimate.
