Primary 7

In maths we have been rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100 or 1000 and using rounding to estimate the answers to calculations.  In PE we have been playing invasion games.  The children have been giving their opinion about what works best in the invasion games and we have adjusted how we play the game as a result.  They are much happier with the new format of the game.

We have also been learning about WWII and enjoyed a handling session from Mrs Liddell.  The session gave a detailed account of events during the war.  It was presented in a way that made links to Mrs Liddell’s relatives, who experienced the war, and made links to local areas which made it more meaningful for the children.  They also had the opportunity to try on some of the clothing.

Families Learning Together

families-learning-together

We look forward to welcoming you this evening for our Families Learning Together evening.  It’s quite a complicated evening to arrange as we have different messages to give to nursery, primary 1 and P2-P7.  I have sent individual letters to each child explaining what is happening.  In brief:

  • Nursery have a presentation on Online Learning Journals in the hall at 6pm.
  • P1 (from both classes) have a series of presentations starting at 6pm in the hall.
  • P2-P7 have a presentation in the hall followed by a presentation in the classroom.  These together take 30 minutes and are available at 6pm and 6:30pm.
    • P2 pupils in the P2 class are offered the same two presentations but these are only available for this class at 6:30

Primary 1/2

Primary 1/2 have been learning about 2D shapes in Maths this week. We went on a shape walk around the school and discovered that shapes are all around us! We can also talk about the properties of shapes by describing how many sides and corners they have.

We have begun learning about toys as part of our topic for this term. This week we illustrated and labelled the toys we like to play with today and talked about the materials they are made from. We gathered up a selection of toys from the classroom and found that they were made from either plastic, wood, metal or fabric. Most of the toys we have are made from plastic but we noticed that there are different types of plastic. Next week, we are looking forward to finding out about toys from the past.

What have P6 been learning this week?

To keep you up to date with our learning, Lauren and Freya have put together some key points about what P6 have been learning about this week:

  • Science: We were learning about the heart, it was exciting.
  • PE: We have been playing basketball and learning how to pivot.
  • Maths Talk: We have been learning to make friendly numbers to help us add.
  • Writing: We have been learning how to use VCOP in our writing.

Next week, P6 will be carrying out the Hands Up Scotland survey on behalf of the school. Make sure you check the blog to see how they get on with it!

P.S. Some of the P6s have taken on the role of teacher and held their own Maths Talk during Golden Time! Have a look at the photograph below to see them in action

Primary 1

Primary 1 have been ordering their numbers to 5 this week and practising our number formation. Our first topic in Primary 1 is Toys and we wrote about what our favourite toy was . We also learned about the different types of materials that toys are made from.

Peyton: Some toys are made from plastic like my zoomer.

Isla: I have lots of mermaids and I love to play with them.

Tyler: I have hundreds of hot wheels and they are made of metal.

Finlay: I like to play with building blocks.

We All Wear School Uniform at PUSCPS

School Uniform is an important part of our ethos and culture here at PUSCPS.  Wearing the uniform confirms us as part of a team.  It raises standards of behaviour and effort and limits opportunities for pupils comparing clothes which can lead to bullying.  Please make sure your child is following the uniform policy:

  • grey or black trousers or skirt,
  • white polo shirt or a white shirt and tie,
  • blue school sweatshirt or cardigan (black for P7)
  • sensible shoes. 
  • appropriate jacket
  • We discourage trainers.
  • No high heals or open toed shoes allowed.
  • Skirts of appropriate length
  • No jeans, leggings or football colours.
  • No make up or jewellery (simple stud earings are acceptable)

The grannie of one of our P3 pupils, Rosa, has made a school uniform for her bear – C-Star.  So even the teddies can wear uniform.

P 2/3 Weekly Blog

Welcome to P 2/3! We would like to share with you what we have been learning since we came back from our holidays. We have been very busy!

We have been learning some different spelling activities to help us remember our new spelling patterns.

‘We can do pyramid spelling’ James

‘ We can do blue vowel spelling’ Eve

‘ We can do rainbow spelling’ Aiesha

‘In maths we have been counting up to 100 and counting back from 20’ Eilidh

‘In science we have been discovering what creatures live in the woodland’ Jaxson

We have also been reminding ourselves about our school rules and how we should treat each other while we are at school. We have all worked together to make our P 2 / 3 class charter.

Primary 1/2

This week, Primary 1/2 have been learning about children’s rights. We know that we have the right to be safe and the right to learn. Next week, we are going to work together to decide on what we will do as a class to make sure that everyone’s rights are respected.

In Maths this week, Primary 1 have been practising their number formation and learning to count objects accurately. Primary 2 have been ordering numbers and finding the number before and after.

We also had a great time with Mrs Andison today, tasting and finding out about some of the vegetables we have grown in our school garden.
