A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week in maths we were using 2D nets to make 3D shapes. We made a cube, a cone, a square based pyramid, a cuboid, a triangular prism and a cylinder.
This week we were doing writing too. We were writing about a Christmas day and were setting a scene using the 5 senses: sight, feel, taste, smell and sound.

Primary 1 had great fun this week performing “A Wriggly Nativity”. Here is what some of the children said after the performance.
Sophie Rose: I was a bit nervous but excited!
Tyler: I loved bumping up and down to the camel song.
Layla: I enjoyed my Angel dance.
Ola: I liked picking up the baby and rocking him.
Miss Mulholland has taught about beat, pitch and rhythm. We played games to help us learn these musical terms and we have just finished writing our very own Christmas song. We wrote the rhythm first using ta and te-te then we added pitches using so, la or mi. Finally we wrote the lyrics.

Boys and girls in the nursery sang the story of Christmas with narration from some P7 helpers. They also sung some good old Christmas favourites. They were fantastic and the parents and other family that came to see them were very proud. Well done to Mrs Hardie, Mrs Ness, Mrs Arthur and Mrs Montgomery too!

Our P1 pupils performed a fantastic nativity play “Wriggly Nativity” on Wednesday. The P2 and P3 pupils supported as the choir and they were great too.
Well done to all the boys and girls and thank you for the help at home and a huge thank you and well done to Mrs Strachan and Miss Cave with Mrs Campbell, Miss McLennan, Ms Ross and Mrs Stanton.
Electrical Investigations!
We have been doing more work with electrical circuits. We have been finding out what items will conduct electricity and what ones won’t.
We found out that metal items were the only things tested today that conducted electricity.
Well done P2/ 3 scientists!
Thanks you very much for your kind donations to the Riverkids West Lothian Toy Appeal. Hannah and Louise, who had the original idea, sorted out and wrapped the gifts and they were delivered to the offices of Riverkids on Tuesday.
Jay and Samuel worked very hard to write Christmas Stories today. Both boys had a growth mindset and worked very hard to improve their work.
Tomorrow (Thursday) is school lunch day. Pupils will already have chosen their options of – Turkey, Steak Pie or Macaroni Cheese with a choice of pudding.
Pupils can still choose to bring in their own packed lunch that day but there is no sandwich choice available from the kitchen.
Remember to dress festive with your Christmas jumper – if you don’t have one to hand any festive clothes will work just as well – a Christmas Pyjama top, a Santa hat, tinsel around a colourful jumper or even sparkly deely-boppers for example.
