A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 4 have been working very hard in groups and today we demonstrated how much we can get done when we work as a group. The children had limited time to complete their posters and they had to work together and focus on the task if they wanted to complete it.
Unfortunately there were a few people absent today but all the children have been involved in this task. They have done some fabulous research and have displayed their information in the form of posters. Well done P4.
P6 had a great time on their class trip to Edinburgh this week. They learnt lots about what life as a Jacobite would have been like and even created their own Jacobite shelters. All the children behaved really well and were congratulated on this by the trip leader. Mrs Cullum was very proud of how they represented the school, both in their behaviour and in how they demonstrated their learning. Well done P6!
Please note a mistake on the flyer sent home – the cost is £2 per child – not £3.

Our turnout at Friday's Families Learning Together session was great. What are your plans for the next one? (16 November 2pm).

WOW! We are so proud of our communities for the huge amount of food that has been donated for the West Lothian foodbank. These very generous donations show how warm and caring a pair of communities we have here in Pumpherston and Uphall Station. Thank you. We will be sharing this warm community spirit this afternoon at our Harvest Assembly – 2:15pm – we look forward to seeing you there if you can make it.

As part of our topic we have been learning about ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. We created a fact file about our chosen god or goddess. We had to write a fact about our god or goddess and draw a detailed picture of them. Here are some of our factfiles. How many Egyptian gods or goddesses do you know?
Today pupils in P2 – P7 will bring home their THINKING BACK LOOKING FORWARD profile for this term. This is a profile of what your child sees as their progress in learning so far this session and also includes a summary of the pupils’ current strengths and next steps from the class teacher. Pupils in nursery and P1 will have learning to share through the Online Learning Journals system.
This is a new approach to reporting to parents for us this term and – as discussed in September’s newsletter – it forms a part of our FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER – SHARING LEARNING programme which we are developing this session.
We hope you find these new mid-year profiles more useful that the old-format final report in June. Please bring your copy along to your appointment on Wednesday or Thursday evening and you can discuss it with the teacher then. All pupils took home an appointment slip for parent appointments on Friday – if you don’t have yours – please call the office.
