Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog

We have had a very busy week.   James from Broxburn United has been visiting us on a Wednesday for P.E.  He spoke to us about the importance of encouragement and that water is our most precious resource!  We were given a gift of a water bottle to keep us hydrated!

In Maths, we started the week by creating our own frequency tables to show peoples’ favourite things.  Next week we will be creating bar graphs with our data.   In number, everyone has been learning about the value of digits dependending if they are in the ones, tens, hundreds or thousands place.  Some of us even managed to talk about tens of thousands.

We are looking forward to next week.

P3 🙂

As part of our Scots focus, P6 have been analysing ‘A Red, Red Rose’ by Robert Burns. We discussed his use of rhythm, rhyme and repetition and used this to inspire our own class poem in the same style. We used the Scots spelling of ‘luve’ rather than ‘love’, as Robert Burns did in his poem. You can read our poem below; we hope you like it!

My luve, Ross

Oh my luve’s like a teddy bear,

That’s soft and fluffy too;

Oh my luve’s like a purple pug,

That’s filled with joy like you.

Oh my luve’s like a big Big Mac,

That’s so juicy inside;

Oh my luve’s like flowers in grass,

That touches my heart with pride!

Oh my luve’s like a cheese pizza,

That’s crunchy like some toast;

Oh my luve’s like a golden ring,

That’s a perfect fit for most.

Oh my luve’s like a bunch of grapes,

That’s growing on a tree.

Oh my luve’s like a juicy lime,

That’s growing just like me.

Oh my luve is like a diamond,

He shines so bright at night;

Oh my luve’s like a chocolate cake,

We will not ever fight!

Oh my luve’s like a cosy fire,

I’d love to give him hugs;

Oh my luve’s like the gentle breeze,

He is as cute as pugs!

Oh my luve’s like chicken nuggets,

Covered in curry sauce;

Oh my luve’s like a frying pan,

And my love’s name is Ross!
