A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 3 had a fantastic trip to New Lanark last week.
Miai T said “I liked dressing up in the old school clothes”.
Edward said ” I loved the Annie McLeod ride.”
Jessica said ” I enjoyed seeing how the Mill workers used to live.”
Ewen L said:Â ” It was fun seeing the River Clyde.”
P7 have been tired this week after lots of long lies in bed but there has been lots of learning!
Shannon – I learned how to explore fractions better this week
Shea – this week I have been learning to add and subtract decimals.
Sophie – In P.E we started to learn more about tennis especially the forehand technique.
As part of our Scottish topic P3 have been learning all about Robert Owen this week and researching all the good things he did for the Mill workers of New Lanark. We created a timeline of how our day compared to the pauper apprentices in the Mill and did line drawings of the Mill houses. We are going on a trip on Monday to visit the New Lanark Heritage Centre and are very excited about this!
This week, Primary 1 have been creating pictures of the Forth Rail Bridge. We used strips of red card to make the shape of the bridge. We thought it was going to be tricky but were so surprised at how easy it was!
We also learned that..
We are looking forward to learning about more Scottish things next week!
Primary 1 🙂

Over the past few weeks, Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been learning about Nativity.
First, we heard the Nativity story, and tried to relate what we learned to our own ‘Wriggly Nativity’ story. We also looked at different versions of the story and talked about what was the same and what was different.
Then, we moved on to creating the programme for our own Nativity performance. We drew a picture of ourselves as our character, wrote our own name and tried hard to write our character’s name. They looked great! We photocopied them for our grown-ups to enjoy too!
Finally, after lots of singing and acting (and wriggling!) came our performance of ‘Wriggly Nativity’. After a slight delay from the fire alarm, we were ready to go! We loved the songs, especially the parts where we could wriggle! Mrs Andison and Miss McLaughlin were very proud – we’re sure we saw tears in their eyes! We really enjoyed our learning over this topic!
Miss McLaughlin and Mrs Andison would like to thank Nia Mullen (P5) and Lewis Paterson (P4) for being wonderful narrators; Liam Cavanagh (P7) and Zoe Evans (P7) for being super with our sound; Rebecca Lawrie (P7) and Alexa Renwick (P7) for selling our programmes; Miss Speirs for keeping the performance going; Mrs Hull for all the song rehearsals; all of the grown-ups who came to see our performance and bought the programmes, and finally, to the children in Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 who worked so hard to make the performance as special as it was. Thank you.
Merry Christmas from Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 🙂
In Science this week, Primary 4 have been learning all about conductors and insulators. We created a circuit using wires, a battery and a bulb then used this to help us investigate which materials conduct electricity best.
We tested lots of materials around the classroom, discovering that plastic and wooden materials are insulators and that metal materials are conductors because they allowed electricity to flow around the circuit.
I learned that the blue side of a magnet, if you put it against the other blue side it retraces itself. Â The red side with the red side does the same as the blue. With the red and the blue they attract to each other.Â
We learned in maths how to divide by using the chunking method or the bus stop method. It was to divide bigger numbers from one digit to three or four sometimes.
We have a money Monday where we learned what money is worth in different countries and there are currencies so if we go to a different country when we are older.
We are learning about smoking.  We had a nice lady visit and she showed us how smoking affects your health and what it does to you.
In maths we have been learning how to read lots of different types of word problems. In an assessment we had to read the question carefully but you needed to use lots of skills like adding, time and loads of other ones.
