A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
It was announced that Rhona Ritchie, our outstanding and dedicated lollipop lady, has been awarded a British Empire Medal in the New Year’s Honours list.
What fantastic recognition of Rhona’s dedication to generations of Pupils from Pumpherston & Uphall Station over the last 40+ years. Well done Rhona, we’re all very proud of you.
Extract from the BBC article:
P6 and Mrs Cullum would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This week, Primary 5 were learning about Christmas customs from around the world.
We investigated customs from France, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Germany and Spain, then created posters to show what we had learned. Did you know that in Italy there is no Santa Claus, but a Kind Witch instead? And did you know that French children leave their shoes out on Christmas to be filled with presents?
Check out the posters we made below.
We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when they come.
Until the next time (in 2017!)…
Primary 5 & Miss M 
Tomorrow afternoon at 1:15 we celebrate our Christmas assembly. Pupils from P1-P7 will sing a selection of Christmas songs which I’m sure you’ll want to join in with, and we will be joined by our chaplain, Mr Povey.
Remember that it is ‘dress down for fun’ so no money is required. We look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow at 1:15.

As part of their final session with Miss Mulholland Primary 4 performed their Christmas song which demonstrated their learning of beat, rhythm and pitch and then they finished the session with some games which had everyone giggling and trying to keep up. Thank you to Miss Mulholland, we have all learned so much and have a much better understanding of music now.

There is a great range of youth clubs open to children after school and at other times. These are run from Uphall Station Institute Hall but are open to children in Uphall Station & Pumpherston depending on spaces.
The newsletter for January is now available in the MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS section of this blog. Click here.
This has also been emailed home and, if requested, a copy is in your child’s bag.
P3 have been working on their art skills this week. They used printing and line drawing to make Christmas pictures. Look closely to see the different reindeer dance moves!
