Primary 1/2

In Science this week, we have been learning about the sun and the earth. Primary 1 drew pictures of the sun after looking at photographs of the sun in space. Primary 2 drew a picture of the sun and the earth, showing how the earth turns to make day and night.

The day after our Halloween disco, we imagined what we might see inside a spooky house and wrote a story at writing time.

In Maths this week, we have been learning how to tell the time. We took a big clock outside to help us play ‘What’s the time, Mr Wolf?’ in the playground and we tried our best to match different clock faces to the correct times as quickly as we could.

This week in P4

We have been to learning about Science and experiments and magnets.  We are planning to carry out experiments with magnets like; how fast they move something, what materials do they stick to, will they stick in water and more.  We have planned these experiments in pairs and are going to carry them out next week, look out for the results!

In writing, we have been learning about descriptive language.  We created scary stories  and they were so scary we jumped!  It was good fun.

In Maths we have been working on 2D shapes, we have been thinking of ways to remember them and their names.  We worked in our talking partners. We had a 2D shape quiz and we were in groups with team leaders, we had to choose the right answer.

We have also been sending a small group with Mrs Comrie, we have been learning about square numbers, numbers under zero and maths magic.

We have just started using the Red and Blue Reading boxes.  Everyone has their own level at their ability.  We are looking forward to using them because we work independently and get to mark our work.

What is bullying?

Pumphie Pals this week looked at bullying.  This term we’re launching our NOT IN OUR SCHOOL programme to help pupils deal with bullying.  We will be seeking views from home on this tricky subject later.

Dress Down Day

img_2327

 

Yes Spongebob. Yes it is.

Tomorrow is the last Friday of the month. By long-standing tradition this is “Dress-Down Day” at PUSCPS. Children may wear non-uniform but no football colours or strips.

Dress-Down Day usually involves pupils bringing a small donation to charity. Often £1. This helps pupils learn the importance of thinking of others before ourselves. A hugely important part of learning to be a responsible citizen of the world.

We select charities based on pupil interest and suggestions from home. If there is a charity particularly close to your heart you would like to nominate, please let us know. Last year we supported a pregnancy charity, an Alzheimer’s charity and Jak’s Den because of suggestions from our community. We regularly support our partner school in Magale, Uganda.

Tomorrow’s Dress-Down Day is just for fun no donation is required.

many thanks,

Steven Eagleson

Our nursery and P1 Online Learning Journals are now live.  You have received information on how to log in.

We hope you enjoy sharing your child’s learning through these journals and login regularly to view, share and discuss what your child is learning and the progress they are making.

We especially like comments from home being added to build a fuller picture of your child’s learning and life.

If you are having difficulty accessing the Journals please speak to your child’s teacher or Miss Morrison at school.

We will be providing further information in a few weeks to be sure that everyone is comfortable using the system.
